Go to Project > Import Audio NOTE: Although "Import MIDI" is
a choice, Audacity will not play, edit or save
MIDI files.
Browse to where you have
your file saved and open the file.
Quick Hint: If you have several files that
you would like to add to the same project you
can open them all at one time by holding down
the control (Ctrl) key and selecting them.
Recording
audio from a source
Choose your source from the Mixer
toolbar.
Quick Hint: Use a stereo-to-stereo cable to
connect a portable cd/tape player's headphone
jack to your computer's mic jack to record from
CD or tape (or even radio!!)
Click the Record button from
the Control Toolbar.
Start your source (CD, mic,
etc.)
Quick Hint: You may want to hit the Pause
button before the Record button so that you can
have a little more control over when you actually
start recording.
