audacity 1.2.x doesn't work well on modern macs (10.5 or higher). Upgrading to 1.3.12 is strongly recommended!

That's very similar to the sound I hear from my speakers when my jackd (on linux) gets botched up... I haven't been able to figure out yet why it happens... The only solution I've found is to restart jackd. Anyways in this case, it's a mac, not linux and probably not running jack. Just a wild guess....

When you save an audacity project it saves an .aup file and _data folder. The .aup file is just a text file and the audio itself is splitted into several small files inside that _data folder. You should not at any point delete, move or rename any of those. You need both the .aup file and the _data f...

This is already the default behaviour on macos-x... Like most apps on this OS, which has a somewhat different approach on this matter than other OS's.

With a command line id3 tag editor and some shell scripting skills it's possible (and efficient and easy if you can speak shell scripting). On linux I use eyeD3. I don't know what's available for mac on that matter. You can try to compile some of the linux apps if you have xdev tools. Or see what av...

If you export in Ogg format, although there will be some small loss of sound quality due to the compression, there will be no dither noise during absolute silence. I'm not sure why this happens, but I noticed that it does. Because ogg vorbis is better! :P BTW you probably meant to say ogg vorbis an...

From your first post, taking a look at your alsamixer screenshot, looks like you're capturing sound from S/PDIF, I don't think that's where you want to capture sound from... In capture mode (F4) of alsamixer, use the left/right arrow keys to highlight "Capture" then press spacebar. You sho...

We got plenty of holidays so they're stable very often

It already saves one file per track. But there is no opportunity to select the type and level of compression. Then it seems (to me) pretty straightforward to make it recompress a track only if it was changed... If the mechanismo works for external uncompressed wav files, I don't see why it shouldn'...
