Audacity Forum

I am a new user of Audacity. My repeated attempts at playing my imported audio to find the exact spot I need to edit does not work. Hitting the 'play' button does nothing. Can somebody help me?

Could Audacity be playing the music super fast and you just get a noise click instead of the performance? Audacity will become unstable if it doesn't understand what kind of sound file you are presenting. Do you have a WAV file or MP3 that you recorded with Audacity and you know works? Do those performances play OK?

Here. Download the Piano Trill from here...

...and see if that plays. It's 6 seconds long and it's a standard WAV file.
