Re: choosing version to download

Re: Yes, exporting mp3, but what about importing mp3??

You should be able to do this withe the File > Open command and selecting your MP3 for opening. Just be aware that this will create a temporary Audacity project from your Mp3 (it will be large) - but the project will still contain the audio compression damage made when the Mp3 was created - AND when...
