Select, extract a portion of audio to a new file

I have the last audacity version installed.
I need to locate a portion of audio and extract to a new file. In mp3 or similar.
How can I navigate easily ?
Can I mark the audio in portions forever ?

Best Regards

Can I mark the audio in portions forever ?

Not forever, no. Audacity doesn’t have edit marks. Audacity does have labels. You can zoom into the show…

… and set a label…

…at the beginning and the end points. The labels are sticky and will make your cursor stick to them when you drag over the selection. File > Export > Export Selected Audio.

Have you ever made an MP3 file? You have to download and install the LAME software package to do that.

Thanks a lot. A good part of my difficulties with audacity concerns my particular way of the user interacts. I will try to adapt to the standard.
I will revise these tutorials.
