Re: [Audacity-devel] Bugzilla Questions

[Chris S. <csh...@qu...>]

Could you give me an example of how you see this working?

The only problem I can see is what happens to the original label-track 
after the associated audio track is edited--does the label track change 
to match the new audio track?

To me, it would be simpler to have labels that could be attached to an 
audio track.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Chris
