It helps to write down (or attach an image of) the exact error message you see. Please see here for how to attach files: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936 . If you are seeing "Error opening sound device" when you try to record, please see: http://manual.audacityt...

You can change the Audacity temporary directory at Edit > Preferences then choose "Directories" on the left.

So are you talking about Windows Explorer editing the tags or Windows Media Player? Yes I think you could always use Explorer in Windows 7 to edit some tags, in the pane at the bottom of Explorer, or (more flexibly) right-click over the file > Properties. I don't know that Properties > Details tab s...
