Multiple entries when saving recording

[Retired_Bill]

When I finish recording, I export the music using multiples. Looking at the list on my hard disk, I get at least one extra entry. For example the list may contain 10 wave files and I see 1.wav - 2.wav - 3.wav - 3-2.wav. It doesn't always occur at 3. It appears to be random. If I check the size of the wave files I will find that 3.wav may be 15KB and 3-2.wave is 1.5MB. I can delete the smaller one and everything works OK. What is happening and how can I prevent it in the future. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sometimes you can get that if you accidentally include two labels right on top of each other. They're rough to see if you do that, and the designation process can get scrambled. Temporarily delete the bad label and see if there isn't another one behind it.

Another problem might be more basic.

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...

http://audacityteam.org/download/

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.
