I have written a possible fix for this, but I'm unsure whether it should apply to all formats. Wikipedia clearly states that for Vorbis comments, tag names should be ascii. If anyone can find information about whether this is also true for other formats (particularly WAV, AIFF, AC3 and MP3), please ...

Better sound quality, That's quite a common misconception (it's not true). When recording a mono source (such as a microphone) as a mono track, the sound is written to disk once and creates a mono track. When playing a mono track through stereo headphones or speakers, the audio is sent to both left...

Pressing Ctrl+B at the beginning of a recording session and then subsequently between songs while recording "Ctrl + B" labels the current selection / cursor position, NOT the current play / recording position. To add a label / marker at the current play / record position, use "Ctrl +...

Update: Our system administrator has got back to me, and he indicates that as long as an MX record can be found (even if "Non-authoritative"), then all should be fine. Your email address does respond with a valid MX record, so all should be fine. I'm guessing that it was just a glitch that...

when I go to File -> Export -> Export Multiple, I am prompted to create a tag for each output file. This is too tedious, and in fact no tag is needed. The "Prompt" is the "Metadata Editor". There's a Preference setting to stop that from popping up: "Show Metadata Tags edito...

is there a way to make version 2.2.2 simply continue recording on the current track, without creating a new track? Press the "R" key. Because most of our users want to record just one track, the short-cuts "R" and "Shift + R" have been reversed. To go back to the previ...
