I have read through most all of this, and it is disheartening to see how much problems there are related to an aup3 file getting corrupted. I tried the fix, but it did nothing, though it says that it created a repaired file. Still wouldn’t open. I think that all I did to “corrupt” it was to change the name, after it was saved. . .in a typical way one can change the name of about anything else. Changing the name BACK to the original, did not fix it. To come to find, that this otherwise stable program, can have ones work completely inaccessible with virtually nothing having been done, is amazing. The steps necessary to hopefully repair it, is amazing in complexity, for a lot of users. It seems as though the file corruption problem would be of high priority, and the tools to repair files, would be built in to the actual program. I am now, very worried of the 100s of recordings I have done, that I did not realize that the whole thing could be broken so easily. It has made me rethink my reliance upon Audacity. It never has been as good as “Bias Peak and Deck”; but, for some reason, they quit developing, years ago.
This is both a rant, a request for help, and assurance that this program remains stable. Who can afford to place 100s of hours into something that becomes unusable, and irreparable?
