Imho you should definitely give Foobar2000 a go (also, it's free).

As described here http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audacity_projects.html an Audacity project consists of a project file with the file extension ".AUP" and separately there is the audio data. For recordings and imported MP3 files the audio data will all be in the "_data" fold...

BTW, what do you recommend as 'better' (for Windows)? Personally, for audio I like Foobar2000 http://www.foobar2000.org/ It's perhaps rather plain looking and the library management is fairly basic, but it is an excellent audio player; lightweight, quick to open, and lots of useful features includi...

This would also allow you to move several tracks at once, which Audacity currently cannot do. I think tha...

I've just tested the forum permissions and as far as I can tell they appear to be working correctly, so I think you should see an Edit button DickN. You may need to clear your web browser cache for the change to be seen in older posts. I have a vague recollection of this "issue" being crea...

Still, why would a loud signal cause dropouts? One possible explanation is due to Skype managing the audio. Skype has to manage 2 audio streams, one from each person, through a single IP stream that goes in one direction at a time. It handles this through automatic switching depending on who is spe...
