# All the edits including files can be saved in '''''uncompressed''''', '''''lossless''''' quality using the '''''AU''''' format. An '''''AUP''''' project file is created, along with a folder with the same name as the AUP file that contains the project's audio data. For example, if you save a project as <code>chanson.aup</code>, a folder called <code>chanson_data</code> will contain the audio data. We can save the '''''AUP''''' project file with keyboard <code>'''Ctrl+S'''</code> shortcut or through File->Save from the Menu.
Audacity saves its data in a format that only Audacity can use. Audacity saves more information than just the audio files, and this information cannot be stored in conventional audio files like OGG, MP3, or WAV.
# Exporting to different audio formats can be done with <code>'''Ctrl+Shift+E'''</code> keyboard shortcut or by clicking on File -> Export through Menu. List of all available export formats supported by Audacity can be found [http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_formats_supported_by_audacity.html here].
When you want to share your work, or use it in another application, you must export it. When you "export" audio, Audacity converts the Audacity-only file into a conventional audio file. Audacity does not delete the original Audacity-only file, but the exported file cannot be converted into the Audacity-only format.
# SAVE PROJECT: All the edits including files can be saved in '''''uncompressed''''', '''''lossless''''' quality using the '''''AU''''' format. An '''''AUP''''' project file is created, along with a folder with the same name as the AUP file that contains the project's audio data. For example, if you save a project as <code>independence day.aup</code>, a folder called <code>independence day_data</code> will contain the audio data. We can save the '''''AUP''''' project file with keyboard <code>'''Ctrl+S'''</code> shortcut or through '''File -> Save''' '''Project''' from the Menu.
# EXPORT AUDIO: FOllow the below steps
## Choose '''File''' → '''Export'''.
## Select the format, filename, and directory of the audio that will be exported. Click '''Save''' when you are finished.
## Depending on which format you choose, the "'''Metadata'''" window appears. You can input this information if you wish (Don't forget mention creative common license under the comment setion. In this way you will other to reuse your audio).
## Audacity processes the audio to export. This may take some time, depending on the audio.
