How to concatenate (link) music selections

Audacity 2.1.1. on Win 10.

I have a few symphonies in 4 separate movements. I would like to crate a file that links the movements so they play as one selection, as with a CD. Would appreciate it if someone would tell me the keyword I want to investigate--or otherwise, how to do it in audacity.

Re: WMA does not import [SOLVED]

Thanks to all who replied. When I got up this AM I realized the problem was probably that I hadn't installed the ffmpeg library; I did so and solved my problems.

WMA does not import [SOLVED]

I'm using Audacity 2.1.1 on Windows 10. I tried to edit a WMA file which I created some time ago on my XP computer (don't know which version of Audacity) and I rec'd a notice that Audacity could not edit a WMA file due to copyright issues. But my recollection is that on my XP machine, I could edit a...

Re: Frustration with Aud 1.3

The first, and most obvious, thing I have to say is, "Well, ex-cu-u-u-u-s-e- me for inadvertently typing 'Audigy' for 'Audacity'. " Of course, I'm quite (pleasantly?) surprised that you were able to figure out I meant "Audacity''. Next time I post something in this forum, I will be sure to run it pa...

Frustration with Aud 1.3

I'm trying to use Audacity 1.3 on my Dell Optiplex G280 (XP, Audigy Sound Blaster card), and become very frustrated with the lack of decent documentation and explanation of things in the software and particularly the user interface. I'm hoping someone here can help me understand some things about Au...

Re: Sometimes "cut" does not work. Why?

I'm using Audacity 1.2.6. If you go to audacity.sourceforge.net, you have a choice of downloading 2 versions: 1.2.6 or 1.3.13 (Beta). If 1.2.6 has known bugs, why is it still available?

Sometimes "cut" does not work. Why?

Sometimes highlighting a portion of a file and then clicking on CUT (scissors icon) works for me, sometimes it does not. Can anyone explain why this is? What am I doing wrong?

Need help getting started!

I'm a reasonably experience computer user, but Audacity (1.2.6) is gonna make me crazy. It's not at all intuitive, and even tho I've played with it for a while, I can't seem to make any headway. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong: Here's my situation: I've got Win98 and a 5.1 sound car...

Re: Help!: how do I record in stereo?

That's precisely what I did, export as WAV. But it still sounded lousy (as played from my hard disk).
