I want to pull some .wav files into Audacity, how do I convert them. I'm missing something.

I know someone has the answer here!

Thanks in advance.

Hey, it's good that you found it.

Although I think audacity can import wav directly. Go to Project -> Import Audio and you should be able to open the wav as a new track in your project.

Or you can right click/open with/audacity and it should open as well. Audacity has a strange relationship with MP3 and LAME though. You can decode an mp3 I belive, but to convert to one you need to put a LAME plugin in the audacity plugin folder. I don't get it but I use 16bit wav cause that is what the lord meant for us to do... and my archaic multitrack software only imports 16 bit 44.1k wav files.
