Re: beginners blues
thanks Irish,
so -I downloaded 1.3 beta - and now get a folder full of all the subsidiary files
a useful link to "information on how Audacity deals with Project files and sound files"
and I understand now that I shouldnt expect to be able to change file names …
I imagine this is in order to make it lighter or quicker etc. until the great day comes when you want to export as MP3 ... but then I got „Lame“ and an MP3 file is 280Kb whereas the folder with basic data is 6Mb … maybe I shouldnt try and understand such hidden mysteries just yet …?
anyway thanks you got me a few steps further ...rob
