perhaps the easiest way to do this is thus: 01 <name-1>, 02 <name-2>, 03 <name-3>, etc,

I messed around a bit with setting a new command as suggested, but couldn't quite figure it out. The keys I chose were mostly assigned to commands already. I'll have to investigate this further. You can delete any shortcuts that are already assigned and then re-assign them to the commands you requi...

There are several advantages to using compressed format on iPods. The two main ones are that you can fit a lot more songs into the device (for 320 kbps files you can fit more than 4 times as many songs), and compressed files improve battery life (because disk reads are relatively heavy on battery p...

Ok many thanks Koz - I'll fix that tomorrow I still can't see why we would set the playback device to the computer sound card so as per Koz's GTrack page on kozco I changed the playback device on all three Wiki pages to the USB device. I now agree (after discussing this offline with Koz) - and than...

You we have one in the Audacity Manual - this is the link for the 2.0.4 Manual, under development, and not the released version - I'm linking to this one as I made some improvements to the version published for 2.0.3 recently: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Reco ... pm_records

[ My rig is not that way. Convert to AAC is all I see Ah, you've missed the point = there is only one <xxx> that can be selected at any one time. Whatever you have set in you Preferences import settings is what you will see in that (dynamic) menu item. Don't worry, it ain't easy or obvious - this t...

Ok many thanks Koz - I'll fix that tomorrow - as Gale said it was probably a cut&paste fault - by the transcriber, oops that was me ...

And thanks to Procne - good catch

Koz, I was going to, tomorrow if you hadn't seen it by then.

But you didn't answer my previous Question : Is the poster right about the input device should be the USB - I'm pretty sure that's right?

@Koz: I think that Procne (and Gale) are right here. Surley in the three tutorials in the Wiki it should say: "set device to the mic (USB Codec)" as Procne points out. If you can confirm that this is what you intended for those tutorials then I will update the Wiki pages accordingly. Thank...

To go back to your original question I think 256 is perfectly good. When I had my first (smaller capacity iPod) after extensive listening tests on good kit I settled on 192 between space occupancy and audio quality - but I could detect minor compression artefacts in the sound if I listened hard.
