Hi, thanks for having me!
I've noticed that when I export a track as a wav or an mp3, the volume seems to randomly increase and decrease throughout playback. When I play the tracks in Audacity, they are fine with consistent volume.
This is probably very simple, as I am an idiot!
Please help!

Are you using the same sound device e.g. inbuilt sound to play back with outside Audacity as you are when you play in it? Some sound cards have effects for increasing dynamic range which you can turn off and on in their control panel. Or the device might have bad drivers in which case update them:

If you are exporting from a multi-track project it's also possible you have exported selected tracks instead of all of them.

EDIT: Solved! Burning it to CD first and then ripping it to media player takes care of all the volume fluctiation issues with WMP for some reason.

if you use windows media player or Itunes they have an effect that is supposed to make your music sound more like surround sound from stereo speakers, that effect will cause it to have odd volume dips and jumps. I have no clue why they even have it, its more like a make-your-music-sound-like-crap-effect.
