Audacity acting weird
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:26 pm
So, I've been using Audacity to discover the content of the audio files for fun.
When opening a stereo file, it shows two tracks, one for left and one for right speaker.
Well, now after opening some stereo files, Audacity shows the file as mono.
For example, I was looking at The Hell Song, which I had ripped from the CD about 4 months ago. (I re-ripped all my CDs using highest quality settings back in November). All music players, including WinAmp, iTunes, WMP, show the file being Stereo, but Audacity shows the track as Mono. And it's the same for many albums I've ripped.
So to sum up, when ripping the CDs back in November, everything seemed OK with Audacity. Now, 4 months later about 75% of my rippings show up as being Mono in Audacity, while they are Stereo in media players as they should.
Why this bothers me? I use Audacity to edit the audio, for purposes like making ringtones and such. If the original file is Mono, it's harder to create a Stereo file.
Not so clearly explained, but hope you got what I meant. Anyone else experiencing the same?
I use Audacity version 1.2.6.
