Win 7 Home Basic - Audacity 2.1.0 -- After having played an audio file in Audacity, I close it in order to give it a new name through Windows Explorer but this manager refuses to do it saying "Cannot perform task because file is opened (although I had just closed it through Audacity's menu Fil...

Hello! I am unable to record audio through the inbuilt microphone in my laptop on Audacity (Windows 7, 64-bit). Are you aware of how dreadful that quality can be? I had no problems last December, only had to click record. But now, my microphone works Is this still your internal mic or another one? ...

I will spend another day recording and trying to find the file size and time in order to meet the requirements so customers can use whatever format their devices require and still copy to a CD, if they need to. Audiobook listeners (and I am one) want simply to download and listen. The only way your...

Koz will probably answer you and knows more about audio books than I. It would be good to have information in one place but I expect the answers are already elsewhere in this board of the Forum. Anyway, just to state one thing - you can't use MP3 if you want one file with chapters because MP3 doesn'...
