Re: lost most of the file during EXPORT AS WAV

Re: What do i do to use the .au files?

To summarize koz: 1) Do your stuff in Audacity 2) Save the Audacity project - this will create a " filename .aup" file and a " filename _data folder" 3) EXPORT the final mix as a wav (or mp3 for lower quality but smaller) file. Don't forget step 3, that's where you make a proper ...

Re: Chapters

How about 70 mp3's and a playlist? Then the listener could just scroll through the playlist to find the chapter that they want?
