Importing Audio file

Post by goldwing » Wed Jul 28, 2010 7:27 pm

Hi, In response to advice following posts re version 1.12, I have downloaded version 1.3.12 & CDex but don't have a clue as to what I should do with them. As someone with very little computer knowledge I am still in need of detailed instructions as to how to import a track from an audio cd into Audacity so that I can make changes to it. I have tried going via the 'File' menu as advised but cannot see 'Import' in the drop down list.
Thank you

Hi, Further to my previous post, it seems that I was still trying to use version 1.2 so the last sentence is incorrect. However, I still need the advice as I am unable to import music from a music CD

Thanks

For help with C-Dex, see here: http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/?q=support

Once you have extracted tracks from your CD with C-Dex as WAV files, open Audacity and from the "File" menu select "Import > Audio".
Navigate to your WAV file, select it and press the "OK" button.
