The N-7 autosave whose data is in "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temp\audacity_temp\project10201" has "orphan" files in the "project10201" folder that are not listed in the AUP file. Where I looked, those files don't seem to belong to the other projects. Orphans would ...

The metadata dialog is a setting. I believe MP3 files have space for metadata. Whether you elect to put anything in there is up to you. Edit > Preferences > Import/Export > [X]Show Metadata Editor.... Note that if the Metadata Editor already contains metadata, for example from a file you imported, ...

We have been through this on the [email protected] address recently. As I understand it, lloydbr has done all the following which I suggested. 1. Download the current Audacity 2.1.2 installer (EXE file) from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows . 2. Run the installer and in the "Select Additional T...

The folder "Conservation_Arts_6_12_2016_data" needs to be in the same folder as "Conservation_Arts_6_12_2016.aup".

"Conservation_Arts_6_12_2016.aup" must not be inside the "Conservation_Arts_6_12_2016_data" folder.

You committed the cardinal sin of renaming the AUP file or _data folder. :oops: If you want to move or rename Audacity projects there is only one safe way, File > Save Project As... from within Audacity. Do not attempt to open the project again. Please attach the AUP file so we can see it. See How t...

So please attach the AUTOSAVE files and the Audacity log file. This link explains how to attach files to the Forum: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.p...

Are you referring to edit decision lists ? It is possibly more likely that LOF features could be extended. What is the differerence between player and recorder times in your example?

Leave Audacity open. If you File > Exit and either save the projects empty, or choose not to save changes, the projects are gone for ever. If you need to shut down the computer, force quit Audacity in Windows Task Manager. Please tell us exactly what version of Audacity you are using. See the pink p...

Have you tried cold booting the computer? USB audio devices do not go on recording for weeks on end without that. To cold boot, hold SHIFT while clicking the Shut Down menu option from the Start Menu, Start Screen or Win + X menu. USB hubs will increase the risk of problems, as will long USB cables....
