#audacity failed to read from a file in d
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
A new 64-bit Windows/Linux command-line utility is available to help repair broken or corrupt 3.x.x .aup3 Audacity projects. These include projects that fail to open with Error codes 11, 13, 101, and/or with the message “Audacity failed to read from a file in X:”. The utility will not run under 32-bit Windows or under MacOS and it will not work...
Can you help me? I don't understand the procedure.
So you can "try" to rescue the audio tracks by copying each one (or a portion thereof) to a new Audacity project (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V). Eventually you are likely to get the "failed to read from a file in d" again. This means that the pointers in the project were likely corrupted somehow. If this fails, and it probably will, I would try to recover the project using the procedure and tools mentioned above. The recover rate is not 100%, but is is fairly good, perhaps as much as 85% chance that your project can be recovered.
