i open audacity, and when i click on a song to import it says "audacity attempted to use ffmpeg to import an audio file but the libraries were not found. Thanks, that tells us a lot. 1) The files that you are trying to import are not normal WAV or AIFF files. Normal WAV and AIFF files are hand...

I'm positive I downloaded the Mac version. Do you think I should delete it and try again? No, not yet. I think you should look in the Help menu and click on "About Audacity" and see what it says. When I tried to export I got the message. "Cannot find file for writing." I think t...

resetPrefs3 now does incremental backup of the current Prefs CFG file before initializing. I think that if we want to go down this road, we really need a full "Preferences Manager" (something along the lines of the "Equalization Preset Manager"). I'm not sure that we need to go ...

I like the simplicity of just one "Reset" button, and the simplicity of just "updating" the audacity.cfg with "NewPrefsInitialized=1". (this does stop Audacity on Windows from inheriting settings from the registry). Suggested alternative wording for the "are you su...

Unfortunately I'm getting a segmentation fault when I try to use the feature. Perhaps you could tell me, is the background colour of the "Font" button the same as the background colour of a "not selected" empty audio track and the background color of the "Color" button ...

3) Don't give up ;) This is clearly all very new to you Dave. You wouldn't expect to learn to write a bicycle without falling of a few times ;) It's unlikely that you've broken anything. I wanted to transfer a song I had saved in my piano’s recorder so I plugged into “mic” in back of my computer, an...

Sad but true.

Thanks PGA. Yes that's a better description.
