Audacity Forum

David Rose has confirmed that he has two XP Pro SP3 machines, one of which would not launch 1.3.14. Installing the appropriate Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package lets the machine that had the Audacity launch problem launch 1.3.14 OK.

Can Audacity encode AAC files in Variable Bitrate mode? I need to know before I download it. I deleted your duplicate post asking the same question (except you said you wanted 320 kbps because 256 kbps "was not enough"). Can Audacity encode AAC in Variable Bit Rate? It depends entirely wh...

Audacity saves the .aup file last, after the _data folder. Have a look in ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/AutoSave. Audacity had a temporary .aup file there with .autosave extension before you saved the project. The .autosave file does not seem to be there or Audacity would have offered a rec...
