Bah.

The process of putting a music file online and in a playlist for Live365 takes about thirty seconds a file. Which is more than I'd like.
It also utterly fails if you've recorded a file for Audacity, which insists on recording the microphone in mono, and Live365 refuses to accept anything not in stereo.

Hrmph. I must ponder.

Can't help the slow file uploads, but I think I can help with the Audacity problem.

First off, you won't be able to record in stereo unless you have a stereo mic (or more than one mic). But you can create a stereo track from a mono recording:

1) Record something.
2) Select the entire contents of the track you got from #1
3) In the edit menu, select "duplicate"
4) Find the track name box (next to the X box on the far left of the track). Click the name box and you'll see a list of options. Select "make stereo track." Audacity then combines the two mono tracks into one stereo track.

I just did this with a crappy recording done with computer mic. Works slick. Good Luck!

You are awesome. This is exactly what I need, and most of it can be done from keyboard shortcuts. Protostation is on the air, by the way, if you have any interest.
