Ripping a Low Volume CD

Clevo -- ok, I downloaded and installed Audacity -- unfortunately it will
not accept a wma audio file! The files I had ripped from the CD with
Windows Media Player were created as wma. I saw that I can rip to a wav
file using Media Player, so I re-ripped to wav. That imported just fine
into Audacity, and the amplify effect worked just fine. I had 14 tracks to
amplify, and I wound up doing them one at a time. I wanted to
keep the tracks separate as amplified.

Thanks for the tip!
