Re: Administrative

I had MacAfee Site Advisor have a look at the link - it gave it a green light, so I went to the site. Looks like it did have Audacity stuff there, but also looked like thay were charging for it.

Re: What bit rates for MP3's are generally considered low, m

Ummmmm. I do use 256, yes. I use 256 AAC, not MP3. Yes I neglected to say that the 192 bitrate is also AAC and not MP3 - for the same reasons as Koz.

Uninstalling won't help you - as Audacity stores your preferences in the Windows registry in 1.2 (in 1.3 a preferences file called audacity.cfg is created - and uninstalling doesn't remove this either). What you need to do in 1.2 is to go to Edit > Preferences > File Formats you will see in the bott...
