How can I vote for this?

I've added your vote.

You're going to kick yourself ;) You've gone too far down the Edit menu and are looking at the "Labelled Audio" sub-menu and there are no labels in your project. A little higher up the Edit menu is the "Remove Special" sub-menu". (more information here: http://manual.audacit...

My guess is that you have changed from the normal "Selection Tool" to the "Multi-Tool". http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/multi_tool.html The button with the "I" cursor is the normal "selection tool" (Shortcut F1) The button with the star is the "multi...

Is that it? If so, then unfortunate...

At this point we need the information requested in the pink box above. Where did you get Audacity and how did you install it? FFmpeg is a problem on Ubuntu because it is no longer in their official repository (they have switched from FFmpeg to libav). The easiest solution is likely to be to use some...
