When I delete a sound file (FILE/RECENT FILES), that file shows up again the next time I turn on Audacity. Because Audacity doesn't have a delete function - so the recent files list doesn't get cleaned when you delete your project with Windows Explorer. Note that a project is not a sound file. When...

The s/w burners add that 2 second gap (unless you stop them) because two seconds between tracks is what the "Red Book" standard for CDs specifies.

You need to select some auduio for the effects to work - click and drag with your cursor to select a portion or use CTRL+A to select the whole project.

You are not the first person to propose a new logo - there is a proposal page on the Audaciity Wiki - see: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Proposal_New_Logo

I would suggest that you post your suggestion there - but note that there is no developer support yet for such change.

Just note that you can open 1.2.x projects in 1.3, but not the other way around - and if you edit a 1.2 project in 1.3 and save it, it then becomes a 1.3 project.

If you want true portability - export a WAV file of the project.

Personally I prefer controlling the intertrack gaps in Audacity myself (my "default" is to leave a 1.5 second trail and a 0.5 second run-in) - then use Export multiple - but I ensure that my CD burner s/w is set to "Gapless Burning" so no addiotional 2-second gaps are added by th...

Yup, that's what's intended - but the auditory review that you do to ensure that it's worked ok is important. Personally I prefer to use Brain Davies' excellent ClickRepair software for click & pop removal - it costs a little, but is only a little short of being magic. See this sticky thread: ht...

Personally I prefer to open the new project and save it to it's destination filename (when I don't forget to, that is :o ). I do this because it stops Audacity from using it's temporary file area and makes it store the project files in proper target locations. But for many projects I don't use a sto...

1.2.3 is now so ancient that Noah was probably using it ... If you wish to stay on 1.2 you should really upgrade to 1.2.6 - but that is pretty old now and the developers are no longer fixing bugs in it. In spite of the labelling the 1.3.11 Beta is pretty stable now and 1.3 and on many modern computi...
