I tested it recently on 1.3.14 alpha on Windows 7 so I see no reason it should not work in 1.3.13 Beta.pilkro wrote:I can't seem to get Audacity (WIN) to import my LOF list. I've done this before on my mac and loved it.
Can anyone confirm that it IS working on the current beta release?

No errors in the log file. It thinks it's doing something, but it doesn't give the expected result.Gale Andrews wrote:There is nothing syntactically wrong with the content of the LOF file as I can see. Have you looked in Help > Show Log to see if there are any errors? Is drive G: available? Does the path "iTunesMusic" on it exist?
Does it make any difference if you reduce the number of files in the list?

Opening the LOF is just the first stage before Audacity goes through the list of importers to "open" the listed files. For example if the file paths were wrong you would see just the log message that the LOF succeeded but you also would see "can't open" message box errors for each file as well. Do I take it you don't see any message box errors?pilkro wrote:No errors in the log file. It thinks it's doing something, but it doesn't give the expected result.
Paths are correct. Doesn't matter how many entries are listed as long as there's more than one.

So in that case we apparently don't get as far as opening the LOF file to find out what audio file it contains.pilkro wrote: If there's only one line, I do get the error:Code: Select all
