Audacity Forum

i have installed audacity 1.2.6 on my machine (windows xp) and am having a weird problem that i can't find addressed anywhere.........
when i import an mp3 file, everything seems to be fine until i attempt to play the file then a song that is 2min30sec long plays in about 2.5 sec. any ideas?

You are almost certainly trying to import a file type that Audacity does not support . Audacity Supports WAV, MP3, OGG and FLAC & MP2 in 1.3.

If this is the case you have two basic options:

1. find and use some converter software to convert your file to a type that Audacity supports

2. play the file in any music software that supports that particular file format and record it in Audacity.
