I only have .au files. Can I re-build a project from them?

Audacity Help Forum Windows

I have version 2.1.1, Windows 10 and I installed Audacity tonight using Ninite.com’s installer.

I have a directory containing 267 .au files which I somehow saved off the Leeds International Piano Competition website 8 years ago. That is all I have in respect of the project. The directory name is “KT - Stage 2_data”. From what I’ve read on this forum I suspect that that was the project name BUT I do not have a .aup file.

I can drag individual files into Audacity and they play. This leads me to hope that I could piece them all together into a project.

  1. Is that correct?
  2. As there are 267 files could you please point me towards the best way of going about it (in case any method I invent for myself proves to be the worst way)

Thanks a lot.

If it was an unedited recording, then it ‘may’ be possible to recover it, but don’t get your hopes too high :wink:

Thank you very much Steve for pointing me to the right part of the knowledge base. Sorry to put you to that trouble but I will tackle the task now with more confidence/determination even if, as you warn, the attempts may be unsuccessful. As regards previous editing, from the nature of the material I doubt there has been any at all except maybe between items and I may be able to ‘work round’ those if necessary. Thanks again.
