Audacity Forum

i recorded a Skype call with audacity and the file I saved wont open. I then saw that there is a folder with the same title and it has the call in int in 189 parts it was a 7 minute call and I want to know how to make it into one project thank you.

Audacity does not Save music files. It saves Projects which will only open and play in Audacity. To get a music file you have to Export one. Export as WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM and that file should drop right into your CD burner.

If you need MP3, you also have to install the lame software from here...

If you successfully recorded both sides of a Skype call, tell us how you did it.

And see this page from the 1.3 manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects

sorry for the confusion. I only recorded their side of the conversation and I stopped it and saved it as Skype call one.
I was going to edit it later but now the file cant be found but there is a folder with the call in 180 difront small parts,
and I need to know how to put it together

You have to open the .aup file you saved. Easy way is to look in File > Recent Files in Audacity. If that .aup is not in the recent files list, then use File > Open and navigate to the location where you saved the .aup and open it.

If you choose "Audacity Projects (.aup)" in that file window then it will only list .aup files which will make your file easier to find.

The AUP file is the Project Manager and it knows what to do with all those little snippets. If you moved the AUP file or the _data folder, then the show won't open. Let us know.
