Audacity Forum

I import a song into Audacity to do some modifications and only a split seconds plays. Does anybody know how to fix this issue, it renders the program pretty useless for anything but recording and editing recording. http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] ... hotostream <---- Image of problem.

A split second plays, or the whole song goes by in a split second?

You should upgrade to Audacity 1.3..

Audacity 1.2 is very old and no longer supported,
patched, corrected, or updated. Audacity 1.2 can
be unstable on newer computers.

Download and install the latest Audacity 1.3 from here...

You can install both audacity 1.2 and Audacity 1.3 on
the same computer, but only use one at a time.

Audacity 1.2 will not open projects made on Audacity 1.3.

If you use MP3 or some of the more modern audio
compression formats, get Lame and FFMpeg software
from the same web site. Do not use older software
or software from other web sites, even though they
may have the same names.

Then, after that happens, download and load FFMpeg. See if that doesn't work a lot better. Since this is Windows, do you have comfortable hard drive space -- 20% free or better?

Thanks Koz, it works fine now.
