Which version of Audacity are you using?
Perhaps your Sound Finder settings are not producing any labels.

When I ran the maco soundfinder when I had an imported file in a track, it made the labels, then when I ran the macro export labels, the label info was in the text file. But when I ran the macro that had them both in it, it over wrote the file, but no info in the file. I am using version 3.0.2.

Please Export your macro and attach it to your reply.
See here for how to attach a file: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936

Please avoid quoting everything in your replies as it makes the posts arduous to read.

It really is time that Audacity drop this Macro shit and use a simpler method for batch processing like those used in Wavepad, Adobe Audition or Isotope RX7. This is why this person can't make head nor tail of it.

Audacity is essentially an audio editor. It also has some advanced features.
Macros, Scripting, Nyquist, and multi-track editing are among it's advanced features, and may not be suitable for everyone.

For many users, basic audio recording, processing and editing are sufficient to do everything they want.
Some of our users are experts, and require expert features. Audacity provides expert features for these users.

Macros are a relatively recent development in Audacity. They work well, but are not yet very slick, and could be a lot more user friendly. Future versions are likely to become more user friendly, but that will require a lot of difficult development work, testing and documentation from all of the people that contribute to Audacity.

We are happy to try and help you to use macros, but if you don't provide the information requested of you, we really can't be much help.
