How creat flag track

Post by yaliv » Tue May 26, 2009 9:02 am

I creat with Audacity a mix of 60 songs for a birthday and generate one big MP3 file, all work fine. My question is that any way to put "Flag" to be able to skip or make a forward on a song, because the way it is now, is that I have only big MP3 with all my song inside and my Hi-Fi system is see this as only one track, so no way to go forward or backward. Just checking if any idea or posibility to put some flag to be able to move inside this MP3, as in my Hi-Fi system I can only move from track to other noway to advance. Thank for any help

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/

Thank for your answer, but this is not working (Maybe I was not clear). I think that what I want to do can not be done. As my Hi-Fi system skip between file when I push the "next" and until my MP3 is only one file I can not advance (even if inside this MP3 I have hundred of songs), make sence. My mistake. Thank anyway.

The smallest division Audacity recognizes is the computer file. You will not be able to pick out a single song within that file. Did you record a whole evening of BBC-1?
