8. No groups My documents seem to quickly get very confusing and cluttered, with dozens of tracks, requiring a lot of scrolling up and down past elements I wish I could tidy away into groups. We've long thought about groups and would probably love to do that at some stage. The big problem is that t...

6. Draggable track heights is annoying Others may disagree, but personally, I find it really irritating how track heights can be resized arbitrarily, so you can end up with all kinds of messy different heights. I like uniformity. I like to feel that the interface is "solid" and "locked" and I'm not...

This is where Mac really wins out over Windows. Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion. Personally, I cannot stand Apple products and think their mice are the most badly-designed, non-ergonomic mice I've ever used. Hahaha I didn't say I preferred or even liked Mac products - I am no Macolyte, I'm...

Based on the above conversation, I've developed my re-design of the panel a little further… https://i.ibb.co/v4ktgtj/GUI.png Key features: Bigger, clearer title No more amplitude values - (spectrogram mode can still show values) Track drop-down menu now has its own dedicated space Collapse button r...

7. No pan tool Having to use scrollbars to move around the document can be irritating. Solution: When space is HELD DOWN (not tapped), the cursor changes to a hand (pan) tool. You can now drag the document in any direction to quickly move around. This would make the application feel SO MUCH MORE pr...

16. Colored tracks/title Finally, this is more of a feature suggestion than a complaint, but I would find it very helpful if track titles had colors (see my illustration at the top here). Each new track would be assigned a color (cycling through a pool of predefined colors). But any duplicating or ...

5. Tracks are too tall When you first open a document, the track height is nice and big as it should be. But once you pass 3 or 4 tracks and start having to scroll, the tracks are just impractically tall. Solution: Audacity gets a new option: Auto track height (on by default): The result is that wh...

This bug has now been fixed by a developer - and I QA tested it as OK on W10 with the latest alpha build. See: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2617 This will thus be OK in the upcoming 3.0.0 release. And many thanks LeeJames for the original bug report - much appreciated :) 8-) Peter.

I don't know of any alternatives short of buying a used hi-fi cassette deck off eBay then buying a USB audio adapter. You can get good quality USB cassette decks - here is an example https://www.hifix.co.uk/teac-w1200-twin-cassette-deck?gclid=CjwKCAiArbv_BRA8EiwAYGs23JGvWMoJtKI7UfBzZnSJ6KZ4DQHbhqh2...

I have an Edirol UA-1EX that does - but that is no longer in production. But I have seen others on Internet searches in the past. Have a look at this device from ARTcessories - USB Phono Plus: https://www.artproaudio.com/product/usb-phono-plus-project-series/ interfaces-usbphonoplusps-angle.jpg not...
