Audacity does not "save" audio files - it creates and saves "projects".
Audacity projects do not play in anything other than Audacity.

To get a standard, playable audio file out of Audacity you must "Export" (File menu).

Yes, Audacity does all manner of editing and processing, not just on single files either, you can also use Audacity to mix multiple files/tracks, for voice overs, podcasts, multi-track recordings.....

See the Tutorials for some ideas and for help in getting started (link at top of page).

I would recommend Audacity 1.3.7 as it is far more up to date than the rather old 1.2.6 version.

Thanks Steve, I will dig into the tutorials. Thanks again !
