The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the 1.2.x and 1.3.x forums.

Just to be clear, you mean the 2.1.2 PPA from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/ ... u/audacity?

I've checked again and it's version 2.1.2. I successfully edited 10 tracks this morning. Thanks again.

Sorry, I missed your last post with the page change. I followed your steps of un-installing and adding text to Software sources and then re-installing. The second time I tried it I got the 2.1.2 and it works fine. Thanks again for your help.
