Argh. Just spent a while recording a song, and I'm not sure if aud crashed or not but i dont remember it happening. Someone said something about the file being "slavageable" so I've uploaded the file here. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.. Nothing sucks more than losing work like this =(

Ok, the problem is in the last line of code, which just reads

Code: Select all

			<simpleblockfile filename='b00253.au' len='262144' min='-0.921873' 

i simply deleted the waveblock it was contained in, and closed the code up with

Code: Select all

		</sequence>
		<envelope numpoints='0'>
		</envelope>
	</wavetrack>
</audacityproject>

and then aud brings me back my song... but all the tracks are silent. oy veh

That's not much to pin a diagnosis on. You sung your song and played your guitar and then.....what? You suddenly realized Audacity was not responding? Did you press Stop after your performance and then Audacity crashed?

That's a very important instant in time right there.

Ok, the problem is in the last line of code,

The problem is that part of the file is missing - it just quits part way through the file.

As you can see from this article http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/File_Management_Tips Audacity projects are made of two parts - the AUP file (which manages all the data) and all the little bits of data. If this project was a recording (rather than imported files) and you saved the project at any point, the data files will hopefully all be present in the project data folder. If you did not save the project, then they may still be in the Audacity temp folder.

If you hope to recover the project and you open Audacity again, do not delete the orphan files. These orphan files are probably part of your data and if they are deleted they will be gone and lost forever.

Here's what we know about crash recovery - it's not a lot, so you will also need a good amount of luck: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CrashRecovery
