You are almost certainly not importing an MP3 - is it from iTines by any chance - in which case it's likely tobe in Apples's AAC format. Audacity has a bad habit of trying its best to play file formats that it doesn't support - all you get is the sqeaky chipmunks - and no sensible warning message. A...

I don't use iTunes myself, but from what I've heard, I thought that you could convert from MP4 to MP3 in iTunes. Indeed you can - but I think it keeps the DRM on the MP3 One way to do it would be to create a playlist - burn a CD - then rip the CD to MP3 (this is the "classical" way of rem...

I lift music off my DVDs by running a lead from the RCA outputs on my DVD payer and plugging into my soundcard - and then record with Audacity.

You don't actually get clean preferences with 1.3.5 just by deleting the configuration file. Thye reason is that if you also have 1.2.x installed and set preferences in it - then 1.3.5 takes its initial preferences from that 1.2 configuration file (I believe the developers chose to do that partly so...

Yes, use Ctrl+B to create labels at track breaks - Export Multiple as WAV 16-bit PCM Stereo (And your Audacity project rate should have been set to 44.1kHz) - then use CD burning software to create a music CD not a data CD - and use good quality CD-Rs NOT CD-RWs.
