I have a related question. I note that there is a full install version and a
portable version of Audacity. I have noted that many programs have both a
full install and a portable version. So I conclude that there must be some
advantage of the full install over the portable version of a program.
Joe, Thanks so much for the response to my inquiry. I do not find the
media library plug in of which you speak. The groups I see are input,
output, visualization, bst effect, and visualization. I went through
each of those groups and found nothing remotely close to what you
mentioned.
Please tell me how to turn off the feature in Winamp which attempts to
search a data base such as Grace Note whenever one launches an audio
cd. Many of my audio CDs are home brew, so obviously such a search is
pointless.
