I don't know what I am doing wrong? I have the Grace Digital Audio tape2USB unit. I loaded 1.2.9 followed all the instructions could not get disk I made to play in a CD player. Deleted 1.2.9. Then I loaded in 1.3.9, played a cassette with the USB attached to the computer. It says to hit play when complete. I get no sound, but it looks like it is playing. Exported it into iTunes and it exported. Loaded it onto a Memorex Music CD-R and I can see that it is on the disk and playing, but I get no sound. Tried to put the disk into a CD player and get nothing (player comes up on all zeroes as if there is nothing on the disk). I'm confused about formats. All the files on my iPod say AAC, but I tried exporting a cassette with both WAV and MPG Audacity options and I still get the same thing. I don't get any errors at all so I am totally confused.

Details are important - a simple thing like a number upside down can lead us down an entirely wrong path, or can have you selecting the wrong input source or other minor error that stops things from working.

I presume that you meant that you first tried 1.2.6, and are now using 1.3.9?

I get no sound, but it looks like it is playing.

When you record you should see a red recording meter jumping up and down with the music - it should also produce a pair of wiggly blue waveforms in the recorded track. Does that happen? If not, go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices" and ensure that you USB device is set as the Recording device.

There is a tutorial that may help: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... uter_or_CD
