I guess I am not being understood. When you open Audacity and go to file open
and then select a song from RealPlayer it streams into Audacity. Now what do I
do next. I tried to hit the play button in Audacity and only get a quick chirp
like sound. If I drag across the whole stream I still only get a chirp. Then
when I go to Export to MP3 in audacity It converts the stream to mp3 and my
device reads it but when I play it I get this chirp. Is that any better as a
clue to my problem. I just do not understand how to use Audacity.
Thanks for your patients
