HOWTO #0: The Basics
- Setting up your system
- Opening tracks in Audacity
- Saving Audacity projects
- Sharing your Audacity projects
Setting up your system
MediaDefendr (beta) supports Open Source software. All of our tutorials assume that you have installed Audacity. Click on the Audacity logo below and follow the directions to download the latest version for your operating system. Don’t forget to come back!
Opening tracks in Audacity
To bring mp3s into your Audacity project, just drag-and-drop them from explorer windows like this:
You’ll then have to wait a moment as Audacity imports the song:
If it is successful, your song will be loaded as an editable track that looks like this:
Saving your Audacity projects
To save your Audacity project, click on “File” in the top menu and select “Save Project”.
Note that Audacity will create a file ending in .aup AND a folder containing lots of little .au files. When you want to work on your project again later, double-click on the file ending in .aup.
Sharing your Audacity projects
To make mp3s, you need to download LAME from here. Put all of the LAME files somewhere on your hard drive and make a note of where they are saved.
Once you have installed LAME, start the export process by clicking “File” from the top menu and choosing “Export as MP3…”:
You should now have a file that ends in .mp3. This is a file people can put on iPods or play on their computers.
The easiest way to share this file is to upload it to a site like zshare.net. After you finish uploading the mp3, you will be given a URL pointing to your file. Post a comment somewhere on MediaDefendr (beta) and paste this URL so that other people can hear what you’ve made!

the best operating system is always Linux, after Linux it is Windows XP. Vista sucks-`’

Linux is still the best when it comes to stability and Windows for ergonomics*`:

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Thanks for the tips you have shared here. Furthermore, I believe usually there are some factors that really keep your auto insurance premium lower. One is, to take into consideration buying automobiles that are in the good report on car insurance companies. Cars which have been expensive are more at risk of being stolen. Aside from that insurance coverage is also in line with the value of your automobile, so the higher in price it is, then higher the actual premium you pay.
