Well, that is the problem you have to fix, then. Have you tried exiting Audacity, looking for the folder "JBan$ - Quay Up_data" and putting it in the same folder where the "JBan$ - Quay Up.AUP" file is? You can't go moving the _data folder or its subfolders around.

Okay thanks, where will I find the .aup file I can't find it

File > Recent Files top left of Audacity may give you the path to the file.

If not, search your computer.

Okay so now the only message that comes up is ''reference to invalid character number at line 6''...

Use or redownload the fixed AUP file I posted at http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/ ... p?id=17869 not the bad original one.

That link still doesn't work... it must be completely corrupted for some reason but thanks for help

Seeing $ signs everywhere, my guess is that having a $ sign in the filename is at least part of your problem.

Don't go renaming the aup or the folder. That won't help!

If you are referring to the name of the project "JBan$ - Quay Up" it is a valid name on modern operating systems (the $ is not a problem though it is not recommended if you are giving files to someone else). The project does open with a "JBan$ - Quay Up_data" folder present in the same folder as the AUP file, with the metadata and track name information I left in (and of course with lots of missing files for the data I don't have).

The link is not corrupted. It could be your browser is confused by the identical file name and is serving you the original bad file.

Rename the original "JBan$ - Quay Up.aup". To do that, select the file in File Explorer, press F2 on your computer keyboard and change the name to "JBan$ - QuayUpORIGINAL.aup". Hit ENTER on your computer keyboard to confirm the rename. Do NOT make any change other than that.

Download the attached "JBan4 - Quay Up.aup". When downloaded, select the file in File Explorer, press F2 on your computer keyboard and change the 4 in the name back to $. Hit ENTER on your computer keyboard to confirm the
rename. Do NOT make any change other than that.

Now move the just downloaded and renamed JBan$ - Quay Up.aup". into the same folder as the "JBan$ - Quay Up_data folder. Open the AUP file.
