If the goal is to produce an Audio CD, you have to burn an Audio CD with an Audio CD authoring and burning program such as Windows Media or iTunes. Both programs allow you to arrange the songs however you want and set the spacing between songs. Other burning techniques do not allow that. https://man...

I think there's a video version of this problem. There was a computer and external drive combination that was dead simple and obvious for video production use and really popular with people shoveling high volumes of work. It was also marginally unstable and featured crashed work every so often seemi...

It won't open the WAV file, either? Does the WAV file open in any other app?

I agree drive fragmentation issues are unlikely. What's the job? All that and nobody once said what the job was and what you're recording. How did you transfer your job between machines?

A quick troubleshooting note: I know the goal is to make it perfect, but don't ignore the conditions if you find a way to make it worse. Any abnormal conditions or symptoms will produce valuable information. You can still manually defragement the drive. Is it spinning metal or solid state? SSDs don'...

You can change the sampling rate with the little window at the bottom left of the Audacity work surface. The default is 44100 which is the sampling rate of an Audio CD. 48000 is an old friend. That's the video sampling rate. A lot of my voice recordings went to the video people, so almost all of my ...

I've got an old version of the Zoom H2.

A Legacy H2. You win.
