What kind of microphone have you got? Give me the web site.

You may have answered your own question. Two of those three are Linux machines. That's not dreadful, by the way, and I don't think you have to compile the program (someone will correct me). I use Audacity on Red Hat machines all the time and it's remarkably stable--although I'm using the earlier ver...

What happens if you try to open up those WAV files by themselves, cold?

ALWAYS export to WAV after recording a valuable performance. Audacity Projects, say it with me, are brittle, easily damaged, and don't move well. We tell people they don't move at all because in a vast majority of circumstances, they don't. Strike one was when you renamed some of the files manually...

It's not a sound file. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/aup1.jpg Magnify that if you need to and scroll around in...
