Copied tape, how to mark sections

[ceriserowan]

Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode), Windows 7

I don't know the right terms for this so it makes it hard to look up
I'm copying old audio tapes, and some some audios of study material..... recorded into audacity....

I'd like to separate the songs with the song name and be able to advance to that song or copy only that song to my ipod
professional recordings are identified by a track number or name and it enables me to advance or go back to a particular track....
How can I set this up for my recordings?
I see I could record them separately or cut them into sections after recording
and maybe put it all together again?

I tried using Track marker, but it does not open when exported to WMP as separate tracks or show the song titles

what is the best way to go about this?

but at least you managed to describe the issue clearly

To do that you'll need to split the recording in separate tracks.
An easy way to "join" the tracks back together so that they will play in sequence on your iPod is to create a "playlist" (you can do that in iTunes).

I tried using Track marker,

You're almost there.
To split the recording into separate tracks, have a look at this tutorial: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Split ... ate_tracks
