Exporting song titles in one file

Post by pmcwillie » Mon Aug 06, 2012 5:25 pm

Morning all

I've got the technique down where I rip my CD w/ EAC, (or record my LP in Audacity) then export them as individual titles from Audacity 2.1 w/ the labels I place at the beginning of each title. But I don't know how to keep the labels or the metadata of each title when I export as one long file, ie, the complete CD/LP as one continuous file.

The labels don't carry over, so the only info that shows when I play the Mp3 back on a player is what I've entered in Audacity's Metadata Editor....not the individual song titles. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

MP3 and most audio formats do not support marking tracks within one file.

Export the individual MP3 files as before then open them as a playlist so they play one after the other.
