Was that a one off error, or is it repeatable. If it is repeatable please give the steps to reproduce the effect.

how useful is an aural exciter in the studio. This was the effect that brought the name Aphex Systems to prominence. Their Aural Exciter was something of a cult thing back in the 1970's. I've never used one, and in fact never even seen a real one. I guess they are useful if you want that particular...

Wow, they must have some fancy equipment! Perhaps you should just get in touch with their technician, they may...

The options are to use a standalone DVD player and buy a multi-channel sound card (expensive and can be tricky to get working with Audacity), or ripping as suggested by Koz. Ripping is the better solution. The legality...

If you make sure that the start and end points of your edits are as close to the central horizontal line as possible, (0.0 on the vertical scale), then you should not get noticeable clicks. Sometimes the only way to achieve this is to apply a short fade to the ends of the audio clip.
