Help!!! I have been having no problems changing tempo for songs from i-tunes. Now, i drag a song into audacity, press play, and it makes a "zip" sound, and the green bar zips across, and that is all it does. Can you help me????

This has nothing to do with the "Waveform display: Minor Graphic Change" topic you posted at the end of. Guessing that you are most likely on Windows using Audacity 1.2, I moved this to the 1.2 Windows board. Please help us next time by starting a new topic in the correct board for your operating system and version of Audacity.

To answer your question, 1.2 does not import AAC/M4A/MP4 files from iTunes. To import those, use Audacity 1.3.13 Beta and add FFmpeg to your computer (if you are on Mac OS X, you can omit adding FFmpeg). For instructions, please read:
