Re: Play Order for Exported MP3 Files

Are you using File > Export Multiple... in Audacity? That should guarantee the Track Number in the file's metadata is ordered in order of the labels or tracks in Audacity. The MP3 player should (unless set to random play) play in either file name order or metadata Track Number order, but we can't te...

Re: Audacity 2 as music player?

To my ear, music .wavs played through Audacity sound better than when they're played through standard music players like VLB or Pot Player. That shouldn't be the case unless there is some equalizer or some other "enhancement" in the player software that's changing the sound. I think the r...

Re: Audacity 2 as music player?

I almost forgot there is a List of Files feature for playing files on your hard or external drives. You could set the LOF list up so that the "offset" placed each subsequent file after the end of the previous one. But it would be a fair amount of work to set up unless you wanted to play th...

Re: Saving

Make sure you are saving to your own Documents folder and not someone else's. Entering a backslash "" in the file name of the project will fail. If you are using an old 1.2 version of Audacity, other characters in the name may fail too. Make sure you are using Audacity 2.0.5 from http://au...

Re: Supernote aiff file opens but plays noise

AIFF is a container format so it can contain various audio codecs. Most likely Supernote uses a lossy codec for small file size and puts that in the AIFF file. Try installing FFmpeg then see if Audacity will import the file. If that does not help, download "MediaInfo" from http://mediainfo...

Re: Play Order for Exported MP3 Files

I am recording one side of a LP record to a single project file and usually that is 5 or more songs. When I export them to MP3, for my portable player, I have two choices: create one long MP3 file for the entire side of the record, or export the songs one at a time. If I export to one MP3 file, the...

Re: Audacity 2 as music player?

No and No. Audacity isn't a music player. It has to decompress files to large lossless formats so it can do its advanced editing. Audacity can't open M3U playlist files or anything else from servers. Playlists of files already on your computer are a feature request but we are not very likely to do i...

Re: Can't download Audacity

Try saving the EXE installer file to your hard drive instead of just downloading it and running it. You cannot install Audacity unless you log in as administrator, or right-click over the downloaded audacity.exe and choose Run as Administrator. If you do not have the administrator password you can d...
