help with importing

I dunno how to import the song into ardour. I read the manual and it says that I need to click edit and than from a popup menu chose import… but there is no import. any idea what i am doin wrong??
thanks

right click in the track - insert existing audio - browse the file - import.

otherways, menu-session-add existing audio.

there are more options in the ‘add existing audio’ dialog, but the default should work.

cheers,
doc

i just cant add…I go on session-add existing audio and than i see my folders->artist->album->and than no songs…

there is a option in the import dialog called ‘probable audio files’. try to change to ‘all files’ than you should see all files in the folder.
be aware of it, that ardour want import mp3’s.

First i cant find “probable audio files”
and did u meant ardour want to import mp3s or u meant ardour wont import mp3?

ups, sorry - what ardour version are you running?

ardour does not support mp3’s (mp3).
