I believe this is not good.
I've just tested Firefox on Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux.
Linux:

Code: Select all

$ firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 67.0.2
Windows:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>firefox.exe -v

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>
Looks like complaints should be directed to Microsoft.

Re: Some flac files not recognized by Squeezebox Server

Is this a limitation of Audacity? No. It's a common source of problems when moving files between systems. "Letters, numbers, space, hyphen, underscore" is a set of characters that are supported by (almost) all systems. "Special characters" can cause peculiar problems because the...

Re: Renaming Files in Chains (Macros)

is it possible to alter the output file following a batch chain run? is there a command available for this in the chain builder? No there isn't. The Macro commands are specifically for Audacity. If you want to script operating system commands, you need to use a more comprehensive scripting language...

Re: if possible to import label from MACROs

It looks like the MACROs command "Import2" only imports audio track and can't recognize the label track. That's correct. Wondering if possible to import Label file from MACROs? You could create a " Nyquist Plug-in " to import the labels, then call the Nyquist Plug-in from the Ma...

Re: Some flac files not recognized by Squeezebox Server

The first thing I would check, is that all of the file names and metadata contain only normal characters: Numbers 0 to 9 Lettters a to z Letters A to Z Hyphen "-" Underscore "_" Space " " If there's still a problem, then start working through this list of logged bugs: h...

Laptops don't have line-in.
Some do. My laptop has a line level input, and then relies on digital gain to boost the signal from a microphone (so microphone recording is truly awful quality).

Re: Help no bass!

The problem is likely to be due to the built-in sound card in your laptop. Stock sound cards are usually adequate for casual listening, and somewhere between poor and total trash for recording. I use a Behringer UCA 202 for recording - for about $25, it is massively better than my laptop's built-in ...

Re: Macro extension: Export options

Is there a usual timeframe for release cycles? Very roughly, between 1 and 3 releases per year. Audacity is created, documented and supported by a very small team of enthusiasts in their "spare time". Right now, I think the major part of the changes for Audacity 2.3.3 are more or less com...

so we have files up to 6 minutes.
That shouldn't be a problem. By "long" I was thinking of 20 minutes or more.

6. Now the waveform looks a bit nicer, but left and right track are out of sync.
Mysterious.
Is one channel visibly shorter than the other, like this:
