Just for grins, with one of your sample music tracks in 1.2.6, change the sample rate in the lower left corner to 48000 and Export As WAV. That should give you a 48000 sample rate sound file. See if that sound OK and opens everywhere. Are you really trying to move Audacity Projects? Audacity project...

Audacity isn't, as one user put it, a "WAV Editor." It's an Editorial Production Environment Manager. As such, it's main output during SAVE is an Editorial Production Environment (Project), not a sound file. To get a sound file, you have to Manage the Saved Environment to Export one. No, I...

<<<exporting the LP transcription recorded with Audacity as a single WAV file prior to doing any editing work>>> Two items.

Audacity 1.2.6 on an XP machine. Have you exported your performance to a WAV file yet? Don't process or add filters or anything, just Export As WAV to produce a safety copy. Audacity SAVE doesn't make a sound file and you can get into trouble. Close Audacity and restart the machine. Bring everything...

The first thing you can do is trash libmp3lame.dylib or give it to somebody who has an Intel based Mac, which you don't. You have a Motorola Power PC (PPC) Mac and you need to go back up and download the correct lame library for your machine. ("lame" is a program name, it's not a descripti...
