To access the Help pages for Audacity you have to click on Help.
What exactly are you having a problem with?

instead of usign Windows Media player.
Use your prefered CD burner in Linux such as Brasero, k3b, etc

     If you're just trying to get into the program, look under "Applications->Sound & Video" and see if it isn't listed in the menu.

I can get to the program through applications->sound & video but now how do I open it to actually use the program. p.s. I am brand new to linux,,,windows user for 20yrs,,,linux for 10 days!!!!!!

     If it doesn't open when you click on it, I'm betting it doesn't work for your system. Try opening a terminal (under applications->accessories) and typing audacity in that. If it finds it, but can't open it, at least you will see the errors listed.

     Audacity never worked for me. I use Banshee to play CD's, but don't know if it will import albums for you.

I was able to find and open audacity from the terminal. Looks operational. Thanks
