Leopard, meet Vista.

Come on Audacity 1.4!

We've been complaining about what the users need to go through to get the lame encoder for a very long time. Maybe in the next version of the web page. But, yes, as you discovered, the script makes it much easier to compile the lame source code into the dynamic library file you already have. If you ...

<<<Just a quick squeak.>>>

Not all compressed portable audio files are MP3. If they're not (Apple iPod AAC for one example), Audacity will play them very fast. It plays most sound file it doesn't understand very fast. The very highly compressed audio files do squeak, yes.

There is something damaged about this one. A squeak or very rapid playback is what Audacity does when it doesn't fully understand a sound file. Unless somebody corrects me, 1.2.x doesn't understand FLAC at all. There is a piece about FLAC support finally coming in one of the 1.3.x versions of Audaci...

Many people make lots of money on Ring Tones and they don't want you working around them. Up until a short time ago, it was almost impossible to make your own ring tone because of the overlapping protections and code hooks. I asked the Systems Operators in the Big Office down the hall about a year a...

I think the G3 machines were the last ones to split between Mic-In and Line-In. Have you tried your own Line-In? <<<Mac 450 G4>>> Mirror Front? Which one if not? Unlike PCs, the Mac Line-In is pretty well shielded and the ones I've messed with work very well. I've done theatrical audio mastering wit...

<<<1) Untar the source>>> That doesn't apply to you. That the start of the instructions for writing a program or writing a programming hook to include lame in one of your programs, or you have an insane desire to compile lame yourself from the original source code. I personally wouldn't be doing any...

<<<freeware program called camstudio.>>>

What benefit did you get by installing this program?
