Hi,
Newcomer here, just registered and am eager to see if anyone can help an old technical idiot. :roll: Hope I have chosen the correct forum topic.
I have just purchased a bit of hardware to transfer all my old tapes onto a MP3 player (which at present I know nothing about) and am on a great learning curve as I am not technically minded at all!! I have arrived at the stage where I have transferred my first tape track onto iTunes 9, and also have managed to export the track onto Audacity to edit. I have (after two days of puzzling my brain on how to use it!), successfully edited the track. My music tracks on iTunes are in the MP3 format as far as I am aware. I am now stuck as to how to get the edited track back into iTunes as the newly edited version. I have tried to do it, and thought I had, but when i play the track in iTunes it is still the unedited version :x How do I put my newly edited track back into my iTunes please? :? Ex[lain in very simple language please :oops:
Many thanks
nongeek

One Quick Fix might be to export the edited music as a different filename. That's where my piano2.wav clip came from. The original piano clip before editing was piano.wav.

Export the new music to the desktop, right-click on it and Open With ... iTunes.

I can't exactly follow your editing pipeline, but let's see if that can get you out of trouble quickly.

Thanks Kozikowski
I tried it but Audacity will not allow me to export by MP3. Have gone to another topic elsewhere on forum and found another question on same problem. I am now to try the answer given from there. Thanks for your response.
