<<<Never downloads for {word rejected}, thank you very much.>>>

No, but you carefully installed the wrong Audacity. Our Intel machines take 1.2.5.

You need to have perfect pitch to use the Audacity vocal recording function. Just kidding. Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O Juggle between Software Playthrough and Hardware playthrough. Pick the one that's least objectionable. Some don't work and some play to your headphones late. Depends on the m...

I'm actually still using 1.2.0.

<<<I came to understand that my iMac will not record it's own output.>>> Perfectly true. Most Macs will not record their own output without significant software help. <<<I have attempted to download SoundFlower>>> And, we assume, you succeeded? I stopped recommending SoundFlower after I pulled my li...

Next time, instead of clicking on mymusic.aup, launch an empty Audacity and File > Open > mymusic.aup. I don't remember the conditions under which I ran into this, but I did.

<<<As I understand it the file (MPEG-4 Audio) should playback once it has been imported.>>> Where did you understand that from? Stop listening to that person. Close your ears. LALALALALALA! You need to convert the file to Something Else to get it into Audacity. WAV is good. QuickTime Pro comes to mi...

Ten to one data compressed MP3 music files convert to WAV files that are ten times larger. WAV files are not compressed. You can make WAV files smaller by doing silly things like converting to mono (half file size) and creating WAV files with poor quality; 22050, 8-bit instead of CD standard 44100, ...
