Populate from Audacity

Hi,

I am using Audacity version Windows 2.1.1. I am trying to move specific songs from iTunes (the latest version-12.5.3.17) into Audacity. Most of the songs I am trying to move work, but at least two do not. Here is what I am doing.

1. Choose the song in iTunes.
2. Open the song by right clicking it and displaying in Windows Explorer.
3 Holding down the left mouse key, drag the file of the song into Audacity.

Most of the songs work when I do that; some do not. Any thoughts on what I could do differently?

Thanks,

Tony

Try File -> Open from Audacity and browse to the file.

Don't open iTunes. You don't need iTunes for this and there might be a conflict when opening the file in two applications at once.
