Can Not Export into WAV
I have Audacity 2.3.3 and a MacOS Catalina. I am not able to export music into a WAV file. I have used Audacity for years and have never had this problem. It's exporting music into a document file of course not read by iTunes. Help please. Thank you

Re: Can Not Export into WAV
Where do you lose it? File > Export > Export as WAV......
What are you calling it and where are you trying to put it? I always work through the Desktop and then manage files from there. It's possible to store work in a place that Catalina doesn't like.
Upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, _underscore_ and -dash- are the only safe characters in filenames. Today is 2020-05-13. No slashmarks.
You can also outstrip WAV format filesize. I think it's 4GB. Bigger than that, it doesn't just fail, it starts damaging the file.
