We'll see what we can do, but next time you post for universal access, try to conform to safe filename guidelines: numbers, upper and lower case letters, dash and underscore only. Some systems don't much like spaces, either. NASA_Song_Track-01.wav That's why you sometimes see files written like that...

Next time you want to save a sound file of your show, don't use save. Audacity does not Save sound files. Instead, Export As WAV.

Then, after you get done recording and editing and polishing your performance, Export as WAV. This is your edit...

<<<this other person does all of those things too>>> I'm betting no. One of the problems with standard Windows® is that 'hide the extension' thing. If you ask any number of Windows users what they have on their computer, they will tell you all about the MP3s they have and enjoy day after day, whethe...

<<<Then a cable is in the CD Input in the amp, which then goes to my Mic In on my computer. >>> Almost. You need a cable from the Line-Out or Tape-Out of the amplifier connected to the Line-In of the computer. So that could be two strikes right there.
