I'll correct the timing errors and missed line today. The bit rate problem is another problem.

My version of Audacity, which I believe to be most up to date, does not have the option of "Constant" bit rate. Choices are: Preset, Variable or Average.

Preset has a bit rate of 170 -210 kbps.

Variable has a quality of 170 -210 as well.

Although the third option, Average "claims" a quality of 128 kbps (shows those numbers on the Quality screen) it apparently lies.

p.s. I downloaded two earlier Audacity version that offered the same menu.

Thanks, Tom Merritt

Hello there,

The following are the links to my recordings:

Thank you and have a good day/night!

Both in the MW for proof-listening!

Hello there,

It seems my Section 93 recording is not showing in the MW for proof-listening. Is my link not working properly?

That was my mistake. Section 93 is now in the MW.

Hi Roma, just letting you know I plan to get my other sections done over the next week or so, sorry for the delay!

Alright, thanks for letting me know!

That is a big problem, because Archive requires the 128 kbps constant bit rate to derive the other formats. It's available in Audacity; otherwise the hundreds of us that use the program wouldn't be able to do it, either.

From the Audacity forum: try resizing the export window.

[TommyMer]

I would be happy to send you a screen shot of the export screen. May I. I assure you, I am seeing what I said I saw. Thanks

[TommyMer]

Better still, withdraw my submission. Thanks.

Hi Tommy this is what my screen looks like when I export. I am assuming the constant function is missing for you.

[TriciaG]

I'd suggest posting the question about this in "Need Help? Got Advice?" viewforum.php?f=23

Perhaps someone else has encountered this issue and knows how to fix it.

Sorry for the error

[TommyMer]

The problem is Audacity for Mac is not the same as Audacity for Windows. Perhaps some other Mac users can weight in on the subject. Thanks

[TommyMer]

My recording cannot be used, as it doesn't conform to Librivox's tech requirements. I've learned, sadly, that Audacity for Mac will not work with Librivox. I reckon I'll just go out and buy a PC. Thearefore, you may return #20, Undine, to the Magic Window.

Thanks, and sorry, Tom

I use Audacity 2.4.2 on a Mac and haven't had any issues with it.
I'd post a screenshot, but I'm not sure how to.
Good luck!

[TommyMer]

Yeah, I could not send a screen shot to show that I was telling the truth. So. I must try your version, 2.4.2. I don't believe I've tried that. Cross your fingers! Thank you for your interest. Tom
