Is there any way I can change the title bar for an Audacity window? This would be extremely useful when I have multiple Audacity windows open and each one is just titled "Audacity," making it very difficult to tell which one is the active window. We have a possible patch in the code to gi...

On 1.3.13 beta - I noticed that every time I export an mp3 file (converting from wav to mp3) the table comes up to post the artist name etc and that works fine but the "comment" I post in there does not post to the Properties (right click the file and details tab and its not there.) So I ...

I wonder why the exported wav file gets reduced in size just importing and exporting the file? I wuld like to have a file that not gets smaller because I want the best quality. Size of exported WAV is determined by (bit depth) x (sample rate) x (number of channels). The bit depth is chosen when you...

CD-Text is used to store metadata on CDs. You have to add it at the burning step (if your CD-RW drive supports that). ITunes supports burning CD-Text as an option, but can only read CD-Text if you add a script to it. See these links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qflFzpeBDQY http://dougscripts.com...

@CaptainSlow if you are reading, what version of Audacity do you have on Debian 6.0 (see Help > About Audacity)? The variables (apart from sound device drivers) seem to be PulseAudio and PortAudio (the Audio I/O library Audacity uses). 1.3.13 updated to a new version of PortAudio. Quite possibly cur...

Thanks for the reply Gale. So here's a screenshot of what I wanna export: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3278/audacityscrnsht.jpg I get the same error message when I try to export the song as a WAV as well. It is not an "error", it is just a warning (that you can switch off in the &qu...

If you drag in the MP3 and have no Extended Import Rules set, then the built-in MP3 importer should take the MP3 and FFmpeg would not be involved in that case, only for MP4. I would make sure you have the latest 1.3.14 ( http://www.gaclrecords.org.uk/audacity-win-unicode-1.3.14-alpha.zip ) because s...

So ... the moral of the story is: Use Audacity Beta? I presume you wouldn't make the same "on reflex" mistake" again. There are some occasional issues with project corruption when re-opening saved projects in Audacity Beta, which is why it has not yet become a new 2.0 version to repl...

The delay is present when laying first track down and I assume all tracks haven't got that far yet.Very annoying. Have you already tried unmuting your input on the playback side of the Sound section in Windows Control Panel? If so, and that does play through to the speakers, then (to state the obvi...

The other response you read is correct. You need to go to the "Playback" tab of "Sound" in the Windows Control Panel, and make sure the computer speakers are listed as "Default Device". If not, right-click over the speakers > "Set as Default Device". Also you ...
