Separate tracks when recording

[Johnny]

I am currently copying a number of LP records to computer and then CD using a USB turntable and Audacity 1.2.6. program.

However, while the music is copying beautifully, there are no breaks between tracks as you find on a CD. The music is one long track on the disc.

I have tried to find some way of putting the music down as individual tracks which can be selected as wanted at a later date but cannot see anything in the instructions which might solve the problem.

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

All you need to do is to place a label at each track break - use the Ctrl-B shortcut - and don't forget to place a label right at the beginning for the first track.

Then use Audacity's Export Multiple command (available from the File drop-down) to export a multiple set of WAVs, MP3s or whatever.

The Audacity Wiki, Documentation and Tutorials have much useful information on how to do this - a recommended read - http://audacityteam.org/help/

Also known as putting a label at the beginning of each song. Audacity doesn't support Markers or Edit Points -- at least not directly.
