"Round", not "truncate", ok?

Yes. Round to nearest integer.
By convention, the tie=breaker rule is that .5 rounds up, but it is extremely unlikely that you will see a value of .500000

Assuming that your sample rate is 48kHz or less, there are enough digits that you can simply multiply the floating point time values and round to the nearest integer and it will be sample accurate. I presume that you are aware that Windows XP is obsolete and no longer receives security fixes for any...

The "Error Locking Temporary Folder" issue is probably because Audacity was previously shut down incorrectly. This can happen if the computer is shut down while Audacity is still running, or if there is a crash of some sort. The next version of Audacity takes additional steps to resolve pr...

Thanks safrankamate.

I understand I am going very in-depth with this but I am trying to make the ripping process worthwhile because I spend a lot of money on rare CDs. Every time I hear the pop sounds, I get irked. Is there no way to make a bit-perfect edit? DVDdoug has already given the answer. Set "Dither" ...
