Do you have gapless playback enabled in iTunes?

Have you tried importing the WAV files into iTunes then letting iTunes convert them to AAC?

Like Steve says, connect the device before starting Audacity.

After connecting the device you can go to System Preferences > Sound > Input and see if the device is listed there. If it shows as "PnP USB Audio Device" (or similar) then it is one of the (many) problematic devices.

I also just got one of these

One of what? A ReShow cassette to USB device? They do not work reliably with Mac.

I can confirm this on my iMac. I think you've found a bug. Thanks for reporting it.

That's a $40 device, right? It is probably one of many sold under different names. We have never been able to get one of those devices to work properly on Mac. Even if it show up in System Preferences > Sound > Input, the connection is intermittent.

Could you post a screen shot of your project before the crash?

Are any of your tracks at a sample rate of 32000?

Since you're on Mac you can use the built-in Audio Unit effects, which includes a very nice reverb (which works with stereo tracks). Go to Effect > Add / Remove Plugins . Scroll down in the list until you see Apple: AU Matrix Reverb. Click the Enable button, then the OK button. The effect has a numb...

We know of no-one who has gotten one of those machines to work reliably on Mac. I don't know of any alternatives short of buying a used hi-fi cassette deck off eBay then buying a USB audio adapter.

Is this what you're trying to do?

The first thing that comes to mind is to create an Aggregate Device in Audio MIDI Setup. This will be a bit of a kludge as the audio from the two sources will be mixed together before being presented to Audacity.
