Hi Ron! To import files you press ctrl-shift-i. In Windows 7 you then press shift-tab twice to move to the folder view. Now you can navigate through your folderstructure to where the files are, select them and press enter to import. Of course you'll lose sound quality by recompressing mp3 files. It should have been possible to import the original files as per above. Failing that, you should choose 320 to ensure lowest possible compression.

Having had no luck trying to join my 2 halfs of the game I decided to export both to mp3 before editing. Now, I am trying to import them back to Audacity. My problem is that I cannot locate the files and am not sure what keystrokes I use to bring them back to Audacity. Importing them back as raw data, do I type the file name and path in the "file name" box? If so, how do I correctly identify what the right filename is. Also, where it says "files of type", I only have 1 option which is all files. Any help gratefully received. Ron
