Missed a step. Which computer and OS are you using? If you're on a newer Intel machine, you should be using Audacity 1.2.5. My G4 PowerBook uses 1.2.6, but my newer DuoCore Intel Mini uses 1.2.5. They work funny if you get them backwards.

You are exporting from a project, right, not one very long WAV file that you want to break up into songs? Try exporting the long performance as one WAV file. Is there still a hole in that one song? There's no hole in the performance when you play the timeline? Where did you get the music from? Koz

You can tell you got the right one because the author charges money for it. $1.39. I'm not kidding. Run it in the command line mode because...

You can certainly do this manually with the cursor on the timeline and Export Selection. That's intensely time consuming compared to the Control-B thing, but yes, that does work.

I makes us uneasy when people show up asking about management of multiple gig size show files. Audacity--and most other programs like this--get, if not unstable, then nervous about managing shows that big. The standard advice for someone who has a valuable show is to get it out of Project form as so...

<<<I'm using a condenser microphone close to the acoustic guitar...if it matters.>>> In this particular case no, but we take what information we can get. Since you're on a Windows machine, you have the ability to record Mix-Out which is the sum total of your whole show so far in addition to the stuf...
