Why do you not have a C: drive?

How are you recording? How is the cassette player connected to the computer?

Are you absolutely sure that the recording was stereo? (Stereo tracks show two channels, as in this picture: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/#reference )

I did go to "File" and then "open" and selected "Audacity.aup" and it does open the file and plays. So I am guessing that I should "open" the saved file and not "import" the file. Yes. "Open an Audacity project" "Import audio files&qu...

nevertheless a property list for the sound variable seems to be the proper way. What do you think? Yes I agree. I wrote something along the same lines a long time ago: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=127069#p127069 It would often be useful if Nyquist knew more about "s". Aud...
