Why won't it play?

Post by PridefulWiccan » Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:47 am

Okay so I cut out a chunk of a song that I am going to be using as an opener for a video. I tried to save it as an mp3 but it wouldn't let me so I downloaded LAME. Finally I got the mp3 audio file on my desktop. I double clicked it to play it to see if it still sounded okay and....nothing. I checked my speakers, I turned them up and played other music, my speakers are just fine, but the file will not play. The file plays for the full 8 seconds it is supposed to but I don't hear anything. Did I do something wrong? I cut the file down and added effects and then exported it, that's all I did. Did I miss something?

What media player are you playing it back with?
If you import the MP3 back into Audacity does it play in Audacity?
