To avoid sound quality loss when exporting, export in a "lossless" format. Audacity supports the following lossless formats: WAV AIFF FLAC 16-bit WAV is the most widely supported audio format - just about everything supports 16-bit WAV, though few programs support "metadata" tags...

It seems to be in the same place each time I replay it. In that case, the noise is likely to be in the recording.

C:\Users\Jrpost\Desktop\My song Fire.aup
then the _data folder must be:
