Handle error
I just painstakely converted a audiobook from cassette to usb stick (I have a stereo where I can convert). I go to audacity to transfer the file(s) to PC. So Side 1 and Side 2 would be merged as if it was a CD. I edited to take silences and when the narrator says Side 1, end of side 1 etc. I try to open Side 2, and get this error.....Often I get this error message about handle errror and can choose cancel, retry and ignore. To solve the problem; I had to close audacity, and had to recover the previousrecording before I can edit. Is this a new problem? I used the latest version; and got the error; and used 1.3 Beta, and same result.

Re: Handle error
If you have checked "Audio Cache (Play and/or record using RAM)" in Directories Preferences, uncheck it and click OK.

Re: Handle error
Audio Cache is mainly intended to be turned on for recording when your Audacity temporary folder is on a slow drive, and then turned off until you record again.RunrigCorvusCoraxFan wrote:Annoying bug tho.
The feature does have bugs and it will not be in 2.0.2 or subsequent releases until we can fix it so that it behaves as intended.
