"Additive synthesis" usually refers to using sine waves (pure tones), which sound more like a hum or a whistle than a buzz. So that would be like using 3 or 30 whistles, rather than buzzers. The reason that you will not be able to reproduce "real world sounds" this way, is mostly...

I've searched on Google, but Sandisk don't like to give out much technical information. It looks like the SanDisk Sansa e280 records as MP3 or WMA - lossy formats. This can make a repair job a bit more difficult as the damage (digital clipping) will have been distorted to some extent by the data com...

I'm sure we will be able to help, but let''s start from the beginning: "I've installed Audacity ....(version) on ..... (operating system). I'm running it on a ..... (type of computer). Audacity is [working/not working] correctly when I import and play an audio file. .......... .........." ...

Using "30 buzzers" and "change the frequency of each buzzer every fraction of a second" is basically a method of synthesis called "additive synthesis" - you can create lots of cool sounds this way, but it can't do everything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_synthe...

It's not true, at least not literally.
MP3 compression does throw away some of the audio information, but it uses a more sophisticated method of doing so.

Have a look at this topic - there is a LOT of information regarding using Audacity as a blind user. http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4371

What do you mean "upload as an mp3"?
"the uploading box does not appear" - what "uploading box"?

What exactly are you doing?
