First layer of this...you don't drag the Disk Image (.dmg) file to Applications. You double click it and it will mount a "fake" hard drive on your desktop. You open that and follow the instructions -- usually drag the Audacity program into your applications folder. But don't do that... Yet...

<<<olympic voice recorder>>> How about an "Olympus" voice recorder? Model number? Given your conditions, the first transfer is broken. Audacity 1.2 does not now and never has recognized Windows Media. I'm finding it really hard to believe Olympus natively uses the propriatary Windows Media...

Where's 1.4?

Assuming they all open up in Audacity, you can use Effect > Amplify on each one before you mix them together. That's the quick and dirty version.

You can have 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine as long as you only use one at a time. Audacity 1.3 Projects will not open in 1.2
