notification re:mono

I have been recording albums onto my computer using Audactity and all seems to be going well. However, I am now receiving a notification that when I try to export a file I get this

:Your tracks will be mixed down to a single mono channel in the exported file"

I am recording in GSM6.10 wav mobile

Any suggestions?

2nd question-how do I access the info on each album (the artist and tracks which I enter after recording each album?

I am recording in GSM6.10 wav mobile

Are you sure that format supports stereo?

Have you tried exporting to a standard (PCM) WAV file? If you can make a normal stereo WAV or MP3, I’d assume it’s a limitation of the GSM format.

GSM 6.10 only supports mono, as Doug thought.

How do you access it where? If you have not already added the metadata in Audacity, you can add it at File > Edit Metadata…, but it doesn’t look like many applications will read metadata in GSM 6.10 files, even though Audacity writes it.

If you need to play the exported files on your phone, check up which audio formats it supports. If it does not support PCM WAV it should almost certainly support MP3.

Most phones should see metadata in MP3 files. MP3 files should have better quality at Audacity’s default 128 kbps bitrate than GSM 6.10.
