YouTube does not support MP3s only videos (in a compatible format. There are many "free" online services that allow you to upload an audio file and a picture and will combine the two for you and upload to YouTube. Most of these "free" services are advert supported, which means th...

The current version of Audacity is 2.1.1 and is available here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/mac We do not recommend using Audacity from other download sites as there are known to be "modified" versions that may include malware (not the real thing). The basic operation is that you ...
