Importing MP3 Stereo track

Post by sathy » Sun Oct 05, 2008 6:30 pm

I am having a problem when import mp3 tracks. Always imports as a mono track even if the original was in stereo. Is there any setting for this? :? My OS: Windows XP Home. Thank you for all.

Are you importing using "Import" from the file menu?
What about if you import a stereo WAV file?

I tried importing mp3 tracks through File menu (Open), Project menu (Import Audio), and drag & drop. Always imports as a mono track even if the original was (file properties shows)in stereo. When the same track was converted to WAV file it was fine. Is there any setting for this? :? Sorry for not being clear enough in my previous request. My OS: Windows XP Home. Thank you stevethefiddle and Thank you for all you guys.

Download this file: http://easyspacepro.com/audacity/exampl ... ckward.mp3
(Right click and "Save As")

Open Audacity and Import it from the Project menu. ("Import Audio...")

Does that import as stereo?
