Re: Track Lines (Sound Wave?) Disappeared and Input Mic Prob

I forgot to ask... What version of Audacity are you running? You posted in the 1.2.x section, but if you're on Ubuntu 10.04 you're probably running audacity 1.3.12 or similar. Please confirm that... You can get the audacity version from the Help menu -> About.

Re: Draft: HOWTO convert audio file formats

Grip is one of my favourite rippers. Simple, light and very customizable... It's just a frontend for both the ripper and the encoder (you can choose which to use and change the command line options for each). Yes, 192kbps should be good enough for most non-audiophile ears :) I never liked ipods... W...

Re: record music from radio over the internet

What operating system are you on? and what audacity version are you using?

Depending on operating system and sound card used you may or may not have an option for stereo mix in the Devices Preferences.
