Re: Audacity 3.0.1 RC01 (for testing only)

If I understand this sequence, Jack:

There was no Audacity running,
You right-clicked an .mp3 (not an .aup3) in Windows explorer and started
Audacity that way,
That worked as expected,
Then you tried to import other files into that same Audacity session as
other tracks, using Audacity not Windows explorer,
That failed.
