If you could run it in english it could help figuring out if it's a problem with the interface's language or not... If you press Ctrl-P will it open the preferences dialog? If so, can you read/edit anything there? If so, can you change the language to english and see if it works? Other alternative (...

The apostrophe could cause trouble... but it looks like you had trouble in file names which didn't have any right? So there seems to be no pattern there either... Regarding the conversion to wav, you can do it in a two step process... You convert from m4a to a temporary wav then convert that wav to ...

The incomplete file conversion might be due to some bugs in the ffmpeg codec... it may happen... For example, I've came across some video files which played fine in some viewers and not so well on others... if you can successfully convert the files to wav with mplayer maybe your could/should try to ...

Like I said before it might be a driver issue... Search the manufacturer website for an update or contact them. On Audacity if you go to Preferences -> Devices -> Recording -> Channels don't you get a "1 (mono)" option on the drop down menu? I'm not a windows user so I can't really help wi...

Instead of recording in stere...

Yes it was that. Looks like spaces might be getting in the way... Try this script IFS=$'n' cd /home/giampy/musica/ find . -name "*.m4a" |while read f do mkdir -p ../musica-mp3/$(dirname $f) ffmpeg -i $f -acodec libmp3lame -ab 256k ../musica-mp3/${f%%.m4a}.mp3 done IFS stands for "Inte...

Upgrade to audacity 1.3.12 and avoid using non-alphanumeric characters in the file/project names. Characters such as # $ % ( ) or even spaces can get you into trouble... Specially in older versions of audacity.

Looks like spaces in file names got in the way... You forgot to post one very important thing... the commands you run

I have a similar problem. It should be mono but it is somehow stereo. Maybe something's wrong with drivers? Strange things happen when i mess with panning slider in windows settings. When it's in the middle i get weak signal form right channel, and normal singal in left channel. When I slide 100% r...
