Audacity Forum

There is no need to interface Nero as a plug-in.

Instead, simply export from Audacty a set of WAV files (16-bit PCM stereo 44.1kHz - i.e. the Red Book standard for CDs) - amd then use Nero standalone to burn your CD.

Keefy,

Right now the programmers are wrecking 1.3 with an eye toward the 1.4 debut. All the versions past about 1.3.3 are minor patches that break major features of the p...

Audacity 1.3.5 certainly has a dropdown selection to export to MP2 - I have't tried it personnally, so can't vouch for it working - Give it a try and report back please.
