How do I put two or three songs together?

I now have three songs that I have edited and filed away. I want to have these songs played in sequence when I put them on an audio CD - "Concatenating two songs" - as it says in the manual. How do I place these songs together before I export the whole thing for burning to a CD with Windows Media Player?

I hope you mean that you have "Exported" them as WAV files

Open Audacity and Import the 3 WAV files.
Use the "Time Shift" tool to drag the tracks left/right so they are in the correct order
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tools_Toolbar
"Export" as a WAV file (use a different file name to the original tracks)
Use your favourite CD burning program to create a CD.
Note 1.
By making the three tracks into one audio track, they will now appear as one CD track (not 3 tracks).
Note 2.
To make a CD that will play on ordinary CD players you will probably need to specify "
audio CD" as the type of CD that you want to create with the CD burning program.

There's a big chunk of the story missing.
You were recording for 4 hours, then what? Did Audacity crash? Was your hard drive full?
Have you read this:

no crash, no full hard disk. just the screesaver went on.
I work with audacity for many years and I just wanna know if anybody knows how to combine / put behind each other .au files. I have them as saved files. Off course I know the ctrl C - ctrl V thing but that's to much work with so many files.
