Error: Unable to export

Linked This page is linked to in the Audacity app from the help button in the warning/error dialog.

Do not rename or delete this page unless and until the corresponding link in the app is changed. Pseudo renames can be achieved with a DISPLAYTITLE. If a rename is absolutely necessary then a redirect must be left behind.

This is essentially a landing page in the Manual for the handling of errors (via a help button) that occur in the Audacity application.

• There is also an entry in FAQ:Errors so that this page will get pulled into the released Manual.

This is landing page for esoteric Export failure messages.

You probably arrived at this page because you saw an error message like this one:

Some of these errors may have an underlying cause of disk full, so you may want to check your disk space and read Error: Disk full or not writable for guidance.

If the problem is not simply a 'disk full' problem, please report the error code (here 'OGG:355') on the Audacity Forum say how it happened. It might be something unusual about something you are trying to export, for example badly formed tags. The error code may give us some clues as to what is going on.
