<<<why does this have to be so hard?>>> You're right. It's a travesty. Get your money back. <<<is there any other way?>>> Certainly. There are any number of for-profit audio programs out there that will be happy to edit and convert your show to MP3 or anything else you want. I think iTunes can be se...

You gotta dig further into the Windows control panels. Windows traditionally has given you the ability to record "Mix Output" or "What You Hear." In either case, it routes the speaker feed back into Audacity. That process may have been abbreviated in Vista because it can cause tr...

Here it is. If you click on one file in the Find results list, it will give you the directory pathway in a little line on the bottom of the window. There is an assumed pathway like there is in most Linux installs based on the drive mount. It says /koz/tests/experiments/doodles/...but what it really ...

If you have trouble installing the lame libraries, it could be you have the wrong lame download, or (drum roll) you have the wrong Audacity. The programmers made Audacity so it would run on the wrong operating system. It will seem to be remarkably successful if slightly unstable, but it will fail co...
