Audacity2.4.2.0

Easy configuration reset:

• A new command has been added to the Tools menu: Tools > Reset Configuration
• This resets your Audacity configuration, preferences, export settings and toolbars, to default settings
• This command acts immediately with no dialog and no choice of actions or chance to abort
• Undo is not available for this command
• User presets in Effects, Generators and Analyzers are left untouched, as are any Macros you may have created and plug-ins
• Please see Reset Configuration for further details
• MP3 exports and imports without padding
• Audacity now supports LAME's gapless playback info, allowing MP3s to be exported and imported without additional padding
• Other applications that support the LAME tag, for example audio player applications, will be able to read MP3 files exported by Audacity without the padding
