Re: Audacity quits when trying to import mp3 files

I've been bitten by this bug and repairing permissions does not clear it. Restarting does not clear it. It eventually does for me, even if two or three reboots are needed. In my case I've gone back to 2.0.3 when I need to import files into a project. If I need or want 2.0.4 features I save the proj...

Re: Audacity quits when trying to import mp3 files

Gale, What do you mean by "non-English" characters? Accented or Unicode characters. Essentially, anything other than a-z (upper or lower case) or numbers 0 to 9. There is some evidence that only certain Unicode characters trigger it (those in Latin Extended B ) but I don't regard that as ...

Re: Audacity quits when trying to import mp3 files

Thanks for the report. There is no need to attach the MP3. It's a known problem, caused by non-English characters in the file name, or in the name of a folder the file is in, or something else you did in OS X with a non-English character has triggered the issue. Once the problem has started, files w...

Re: How does the Track Panel become "active"?

If Audacity supported global shortcuts then you could set an Audacity global shortcut for long or short seek backwards. It could get messy if you had a global shortcut for Play and multiple projects were open. I don't think that's a reason not to do it if we want Audacity to be more "competiti...

Re: How does the Track Panel become "active"?

I believe the best solution to this problem is to update Audacity to wxWidgets 2.9.x or later version. Then if Audacity was coded accordingly it could support Global Shortcuts on Mac and Linux as well as Windows: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/12354 If Audacity supported global shortcuts then you ...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

Correct. I answered in the context that we already knew that Audacity AIFF would not play and, so, were there anyone else's AIFF files that would not play. So far, only AIFF files created by exporting selection, in Audacity, will not play. Am I the only one to whom this has happened? G I have a sim...
