Audacity 1.2.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.

The final version of Audacity for Windows 98/ME is the legacy 2.0.0 version.

Recording Tracks

How do I make it so Audacity will not open a new track while recording. I want to re-record on the same track just like you would a cassete player, and then manually open up a new track for recording when I need to.

Record-Pause instead of Stop. Try this once to make sure you know the button sequences.

-- or --

Install Audacity 1.3. 1.3 has provision for Add-On Recording.

Transport > Append Record, or Shift-R.

You can have both Audacity versions on your computer as long as you only use one at a time. Audacity 1.3 Projects will not open in 1.2.
