Re: I have a little question

... I've managed to record some old audio tapes onto the computer as MP3 files and transferred them to CD. I haven't a clue what MP3 means. MP3 is a compressed format (where some of the audio information is thrown away) mainly for use on small portable playback devices - https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Re: How to diable popup "Save project before closing?"

I think the "don't nag me about this again" option is the number one request I have for the customized versions of Audacity I provide. And pray tell me - do these same people also write to Bill Gates and ask him to remove the same nag from Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Projet etc ? ;) 8-) Peter

And I'd like to see LAME bundled in Audacity.

Re: Get rid of/Hide the scrollbars when nothing to scroll

If you really want to give yourself some more (vertical ) screen real estate there are a few things to do. 1) For a start I would hide the Scrub Ruler, the gray bar immediately under the Timeline.

Re: How to diable popup "Save project before closing?"

just plays it, making no edits whatsoever And a variation on that is if the user does make changes but then Exports Something , Audacity assumes that was the goal and suppresses the message. Other software works that way. I always thought you never liked software that "tries to help you" ...

Re: How to diable popup "Save project before closing?"

How can I prevent/suppress this popup (forever)? The only way is if you compile Audacity yourself and suppress that message in the source. This has been discussed many times by Audacity Developers and QA - and it has always been considered that it is too risky/dangerous to enable general suppressio...

Re: Can't unbind shortcuts for previous/next tool in 2.2.2

If I clear the bindings for A (previous tool) and D (next tool), the bindings return when I OK out of the dialog. If I assign these commands to different key combos, they stay bound there and A and D have no effect. If I clear the bindings again, they revert to A and D. - DickN Works OK for me in b...

Re: Transcription Toolbar
