Plug-ins are not audio files, you can't play them. Plug-ins provide additional features such as extra effects. Plug-ins are optional, but if you want to use them they must be correctly installed. Instructions for installing plug-ins are here: http://audacityteam.org/download/plugins but as you are j...

Yes thanks I got the file. Your guess was correct, Audacity is being clever and reusing some of the same data multiple times. Opening up the SleepMachine3.aup file in a plain text editor, here's the first part of the first audio track: <wavetrack name="dishwashercd" channel="0" l...

The log tells us that Audacity is unable to load FFMpeg - probably because you don't have FFMpeg installed, but that does not matter here.

Nyquist could handle stripping/replacing spaces in labels very easily (for example, changing " My New album Tack 5 " to "my_new_album_track_05") if only Nyquist had read/write access to label tracks.
