You have missed a step out. You should have "Exported" the recording as a WAV file from the original project (on the recording computer). Transfer the WAV file to the other PC and burn it to CD. There is a tutorial all about this. See the "Tutorials" link at top of this page.

After you have recorded into Audacity, you need to "Export" the recording as a WAV file. You will then be able to make a CD from the exported audio file. Note that many CD writing programs will not accept 32bit WAV files, they must be 16bit. See the "Tutorials" link at top of thi...

Speaker identification:... I think this will have to be manual You're probably right. Using Audacity 1.3 You can then label regions of the track (Audacity 1.2 only marks single points) By clicking on a label name, it will select the region that is defined by the label.

You can remove or isolate individual instruments from midi files very easily with any midi editor. (Can also be a useful tool for learning new songs as most mi...

This one is seriously magic. It was created and exported as a 32-bit floating WAV file. QuickTime Pro thinks it's 16-bit and Audacity 1.3.8 opens it as 24-bit.
