so when I load it into another program it does not start playing the file until at T=7.

If you don't want the first 7 seconds to play, why not just delete the first 7 seconds?
I don't see what you are hoping to achieve with metadata.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about metadata in files that you are importing, or are you referring to labelled audio clips in Audacity tracks?

My guess is that you have inadvertently selected one of the "Tools" (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tools_toolbar.html)
The default "Tool" is the "Selection Tool".

is there a way to access the metadata with Nyquist? Nyquist does not have any built-in support for metadata as far as I'm aware. I'm working on something that requires additional information to be added to audio files that are chopped up If you tell us more about what you are doing, we 'may' be abl...

the song sound like the recording is jumping forward every 10-20 seconds.

Is the jumping regular? (For example, jumps on 12 or 18 seconds, but not 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 seconds.)

It was enabled If the pretty GUI is enabled but does not work with Audacity, then Audacity falls back on the basic UI (which is what you are seeing). I'm using: Xubuntu 18.04 LTS calf-plugins 0.0.60-5 Audacity 2.4.2 built from source https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases/tag/Audacity-2.4.2

i tried to install the offline manual for Audacity 2.4.1 under the following environment (using 'snapd'):

If you get it to work with the snapd version, you will be the first on this forum to do so - please post how you do it if you succeed.
