You learn something new every day.
This has been introduced only fairly recently - I think it came in with 2.0.4

What's the 45?

If I've got it, then you're welcome to an uncompressed WAV of the single?

Re: Separating a wav file into single tracks

No you don't need to Pause

You can place the cursor and use the shortcut Ctrl+B to place the label at the cursor position

or you can use Ctrl+M to place a label at the current playback or recording position.
