Hi Please help.
My audacity seems to have updated something and now I am getting this message on my Windows. I am not great with tech and I just need to know what I need to download to make the files open.
Thanks,
Marian

Have you used Audiotonic before?
Instead of double-clicking on an AUP file and let Windows figure it out, Right-Click the AUP file > Open With and point it to Audacity.
Or Open Audacity first. Then File > Open and point it at your AUP file.

Hi Koz
Thank you - It is still saying the same thing in audacity
Is there any other way of opening the files so I can convert them?

I am not familiar with "Audiotonic"'. But they seem to be related to Blue Sky Software. We have seen them before:

On the surface, this seems to be an Audiotonic error. What did they say when you asked them ?

Are you using genuine Audacity (from here:
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/) or are you using "Audiotonic" from the Microsoft Store?
If you're using Audiotonic, you should contact them for support.

Put the original AUP files somewhere safe (as a backup), then download these two files and put them into the original locations for "4th Part.aup" and "3rd Part Done.aup".
