It's a hardware problem. It's called a 'DC offset' and is common among consumer audio hardware. You can usually remove it by using the Normalize plugin and checking the "remove DC offset" box.

It's impossible to save an MP3 file that will properly loop without fancy software tricks on the playback hardware. As far as I know, all MP3 encoders add a small amount of silence to the end of each track, this is why albums that have cross-faded tracks and have been ripped to MP3 will stutter duri...

There's no such thing as a "simple tape hiss problem". You're already on the right track. As long as you've selected a good piece of "silence", the best you can do is fiddle with the sliders to get it sounding as good as possible.

In order to get it to work on your other machine you'll need to recreate the directory structure and original audio file that...

You would import it into Audacity, add a flag at the beginning of each track (don't forget a flag at 0.0 seconds), then use the Export Multiple... option. I'd tell you how to use it in more detail, but I've never used it myself. If you still need help, look for a tutorial or manual for Audacity. If ...
