And if I try that trick with the MONO track which seems to work when I test, how do I get rid of the empty mono track after I've recorded a song?

What I am looking to do is have a script (Python, Powershell) run on a schedule and look in a folder for mp3 files. If it sees a files, I want to feed this file in to Audacity to convert it to a different specific format (WAV, u-law, 8bit, mono, 8000khz) It would be quicker and easier to use a comm...

If you wish to make a normal "audio CD", then Export from Audacity as a WAV file, and use your CD burning software to make the CD (selecting "Audio CD" as the type of CD).
