Error in Recovering Project

Post by jasonwilkerson » Mon Mar 22, 2010 1:56 am

My laptop battery died while recording. I rebooted and started Audacity, was relieved to see the message that the project could be recovered, however, when I try to recover the project, I get the message Error; Not well formed (invalid token) at line 2474. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Jason

Did the recovery process try to create an AUP file for you? Did it succeed?

There is a crash recovery process divorced from that rescue process.

Crash Recovery

The AUP file is the Project Manager. It's job is to keep track of all the pieces and files of a show -- and there could be thousands.

You can open up an AUP file in NotePad or WordPad and read it. Here's a simple one...

That's XML programming language. It's not a college level course to read it, either. There's a lot of English in there. That file is around 24 lines of code.

In your case, one of those words is wrong or damaged 2474 lines down from the top.
