After each song you can make a gap with the Generate > Silence function in Audacity. The Red Book standard for CDs specifies a 2 second gap (lots of CD burning software inserts this intertrack gap unless you tell it not to). I am most curious as to know why you want to create "one long string&q...

See this thread of mine: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1994 This is additional software - it is not free, but not expensive either - it does a great job and I think has been well worth the money for me. In the thread Gale Andrews also recommeds a free-trial alternative. I'ts...

It sounds like you are trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support - that screech is Audacity trying to play a filetype it can't resove (1.2.x doesn't give you sensible error message - IIRC this is fixed in later versions of Audacity 1.3.x, where you get a meaninful warning). Audacit...

I'd go with STF's suggestion of the Zoom H2 (it gets recommended by many people, not just Steve). It should provide the simplest solution to your needs - simple, small and very portable.

Just upload the files to PC later for editing and distribution.

And note that while 1.2 projects can be opened in 1.3 - 1.3 projects won't open in 1.2 - and once you have opened a 1.2 project in 1.3 and saved it - then it becomes qa 1.3 project unopenable again in 1.2.

Silent audio does contain samples that have to be calculated - they are there, but just at 0.0. Unfortunately, that to me is indicative of a significant problem. That's like reserving a number of chairs, but when one gets used and is no longer needed you don't release it for someone else to sit in ...

In 1.2 you can only label points in the Audio - so a selection range (for multiple export say) is defined by the section between two labels. To make the label jjust move yor cursor to the selected position and type CTRL + B , then type in the label. Note that labelling is much better handled in 1.3....

You can do it in 1.3.x but not in 1.2.x - in 1.3 the developers introduced a new toolbar called the Selection Toolbar - using this new toolbar you can do what you are asking for.
