In the Files app, you can pull them out of there and do whatever else you want to do with them. When you export files, they’ll again go into the “Linux files” area of your Chromebook. You can load audio files, edit like you normally would, and export files from Audacity too - and it exports MP3 without having to fiddle with any additional files, too. Once you’ve loaded it, try playing it - there’s an output volume in Audacity itself, which you might need to use. Linux on a Chromebook is a bit like a “machine inside another machine”, so in order for it to see your audio files, you’ll need to use the Files app on your Chromebook and pull an audio file into the new “Linux Files” folder in “My files” so that the Linux machine inside your Chromebook can see it. If your machine has a high-density screen, some of the buttons might be really quite small and difficult to read, but it works.
Go on, try clicking it and see if it works. You should now have an Audacity icon in your launcher (in the “Linux apps” group). (This installs v2.2.2 of Audacity, not the latest one. This is Linux installing a set of programs and libraries. ĭon’t panic, your machine isn’t leaving you. Unpacking notification-daemon (3.20.0-4).
Your screen will fill with exciting nonsense like Preparing to unpack. Type “Y” (a capital y) to agree, and hit enter. It’ll ask you if you want to install lots of things. ('sudo’ means 'do this as a super user’ 'apt-get’ is the advanced packaging tool that Linux users use to install programs). It also appears in “Linux apps” in your launcher if you want it again. You’ll now have a Terminal console blinking at you in all its green scariness. This’ll take five minutes or so, so have a nice cup of tea.
Click the clock in your taskbar, the Settings cog, then search for “Linux” and enable it. Turn on Linux support on your Chromebook. (Fill this in now you won’t lose your place!) Three steps to install Audacity on ChromeOS
