The metadata editor in 1.2 only pops up after the export dialogue.

ID3 tags are notoriously non-standard, so it is often best to use the tagging features in the software that you will be using. For an iPod, tagging in iTunes is most likely the way to go.

You need to reset Audacity's preferences. Use the "Safe Solution" described here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Audacity_Preferences#Resetting_Preferences_to_defaults When you have done that, it is probably a good opportunity to upgrade to Audacity 1.3.9 (the 1.2 series is n...

If the long pauses are very quiet (no background noise) then you may be able to use "Truncate Silence" (Effects menu - Audacity 1.3)

See here for help with t...

If you are getting a 2 channel recording and one channel is flat-line but the other channel is OK, then I would strongly suspect the problem is a lead / plug / or something wrong with the device that you are recording.

See if you can change the wireing round and make it switch to recording only the right channel. If you are on Vista there may be something in the Windows Control Panel that sets recording to mono/stereo.

That version of Audacity is about 5 years past its sell by date. The first thing I'd suggest is updating Audacity. You're in luck - Audacity 1.3.9 has just been released - that's the version to go for. If that does not solve the problem, send a new post to the Mac / Audacity 1.3.x part of the forum....
