<<<is there no way it can passively record?>>> Certainly. You can place a microphone between you and the speaker. Pick a quiet room and cover the desk or table with a blanket or quilt (or moving quilt--the best way). Plug the microphone into the second computer, launch Audacity, set levels with the ...

That is what they do, yes. You do have to get their settings right.

Most chat systems take over your machine sound services completely to gain maximum reliability. Usually, the only way of recording both sides of the conversation is if the chat software offers a module or tool that does it. One of the VOIP Telephone systems does it that way.

Say someone ( a real poster) installed 1.2 on his Windows machine. The program preferences get burned into the Registry. Then they installed 1.3. Do they get an audacity.cfg file and is there any interaction between the two Audacities? In a vaguely allied question, If you "uninstall" Audac...

<<<I've tried importing other audio file types into audacity such as mp3 and other software proj files>>> Audacity does not support anybody else's projects (that I know of), and if you imported a real MP3 file, you would have gotten music, not trash. Everybody thinks "Compressed Sound File"...

As near as we can figure, a particular robust virus package insists on inspecti...

Mac Mini, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, Tiger 10.4.11, Experimental Mac Audacity 1.3.7.

I followed these steps and the "Edit Metadata" dialog box appears. The music is exported successfully and plays in QuickTime Player.

I don't have my 10.5 license on line yet, and I've never used 1.3.6.

<<<That's known as Quick-Play and not actually a bug:>>> Which is why I didn't call it a bug. I just said 1.2.5 didn't do that. That saves an enormous number of keystrokes when you're looking for a segment. "That's not it, no, no, shucks, not here, there it is!" Why, it's almost as good as...
