Zero. Never do production in MP3 :D well that is not "strictly" true. Audacity "can" import MP3s for editing, but it is highly recommended to use uncompressed audio (WAV, FLAC or AIFF files) for production and only convert to MP3 as the final export step (if MP3 is really requir...

Click once on the track (on the blue wiggly waveform) at 19 minutes.
This will place the playback cursor at the point on the track where you click.

No, Audacity does not currently support WASAPI, though it is planned in the future.

So why do you still think we need the "cosine" == "EQ Power" == "Mid Fade +50" as well as the "Old Cross Fade? If we are to have some "handy presets", then a "typical" / "classic" "Equal Power crossfade" curve is an obvious ...

If they do fade up + 30, they don't know how what they got may be described. Would it help if the "Simple" fades were logarithmic and exponential? Mid Fade Cut/Boost: < 0 produces exponential Mid Fade Cut/Boost: = 0 produces linear Mid Fade Cut/Boost: > 0 produces logarithmic Mid Fade Cut...

There are an infinite number of different "equal power crossfade" shapes - in each case the power gain of uncorrelated audio is unity. mr steve, bit complex ''uncorrelated'' u mean is different so no cancel out???? Basically, yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncorrelated Technically it m...

Then I must have misunderstood your description of "ends abruptly" - which end are you talking about? A "Cross Fade in" begins more abruptly than a Cosine fade in. A "Cross Fade Out" ends more abruptly than a Cosine fade out. An "Equal Power Logarithmic Fade Out&q...

I don't believe the Mid-Fade-Boost gives a curve exactly like Cross Fade. You are correct. Version 30 / 30b cannot create a curve exactly like Cross Fade. It can create a curve that has the same mid-point level (Mid Fade = +50). It can create a curve that has the same "roundness" at the e...

Then, as I listen to the recording and hit stop where I can find a pause so I can then push all the way back to the left with the finger to export that selection, how do I ensure I can then return to that exact spot where I hit stop so I can begin to then select the last selection to the end to exp...

If you installed Audacity 2.0.2 using the recommended installer, the manual will be available in the Audacity Help menu.
The manual open up in your web browser so it is easy to add "bookmarks" ("favourites").
