Import audio and no song

Post by wesdidgraffiti » Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:39 pm

On some songs, i'll import them into audacity and the full thing will be there. On most of them, however, there will just be lilke not even a millisecond of data, and if I click play, there'll be a squiggly sound like when you fast forward a cassette. What do i do?

You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support . Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC in 1.3.

If this is the case you have two basic options:

1. find and use some converter software to convert your file to a type that Audacity supports

2. play the file in any music software that supports that particular file format and record it in Audacity.
