Save only Saves projects - you need the Export command to make non-Audacity project format such as WAV MP3 etc. If you have multiple tracks you will want to use a label track and the use Export Multiple.

This confuses many people - see this thread in the feature request section of the forum: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9897
