Whenever I am ripping if I am using a web browser at

what happens is audacity stops recording as though someone had hit the
"stop" button. It does not hand or anything, and I can hit "record"
again and it goes (but it still screws up my rip of course)
Control problem.
Then when I am done of that an processing, a really
simple one. I
zoom into the area between songs then I want to play that short clip
to see exactly where one song ends and the other begins, and maybe
figure out whether there is a few seconds of silence I can cut out.
So I hit "play" and then when I hit "stop" at the other end, it
hangs
solid and eventually gives me the option to kill or wait. I kill it.
That one can sometimes happen the very first thing into audacity
before I've done any other editing.
I have done that and not had a problem. Again this is a control problem -
something bad happens in the control of the program.
I am using regular Ubuntu not studio.
So that would be the new (still experimental IMO) unity desktop with it's
ever changing interface that is slowly moving from X to MIR. You don't
have to use studio, but have you tried xubuntu or kubuntu? Both of these
desktops seem to have no problems with audacity. Studio, which I am using
uses XFCE and kubunu, which my wife uses, is KDE. My wife uses audacity as
her "DAW" :) so she has done lots of starts and stops with no problem.
Also look for the next release of audacity in the next month or so.
