That's confusing - you can't do "Tracks -> Add New -> Audio Track" in Audacity 1.2 Tried it here on Audacity 1.3.10 and it 's working fine. Could you give more detail - version of Audacity (see "help > About Audacity") and all the settings at each step. Ideally, could you also up...

No problem if these CDs are just as data backups or for playing on a computer. I presume that you are aware that for an audio CD that is compatible with most CD players you need to make an "audio CD" (different from a data CD).

I use a Zoom H2 (cost was about £125 GBP). The sound quality is excellent. It's a lot bigger than the average MP3 player, but still very portable (fits easily into my jacket pocket). There are similar devices from other manufacturers.

Don't bother - it's obsolete.

(sent a reply to your other post).

If you're using Audacity 1.3.9 there is a good chance that it will automatically recover it when you restart Audacity.
If Audacity offers to delete orphaned files, say NO.

If that doesn't work or you are using Audacity 1.2, see here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... shRecovery

1.2.6 v 1.3 issue I didn't realize that the forums were separate until after I posted. Not to worry, we can sort that out. I did download the 1.2.6 because I read the word (STABLE) being computer challenged I figured it would be safer. There's just been a long discussion about this on the developer...
