Audacity Forum

Windows 10
Audacity 2.1.2
I don't know about the exe. installer

I create my music on Finale 25
I then put it in Audacity
when I have it "right" I make it into .wav
I then put it in iTunes and line it up
Then I record that onto a CD.

I've not had any problem with this n years
except now. I have a large piece created on Finale
I didn't have anyone record it because it needs an orchestra
So on Audacity and made 3 "song" groupings
Had them ready to go as Section 1, Section 2, section 3

But, on the CD I made section 1 won't go to two, two won't go to three
they each turn back on themselves and play it over

ie 1, goes back to one, I move to 2 and it goes back to 2, three happened to go back to 1.

This is the only place I know to get help, I sure ope one of you understands and can help.

Thank you, Canary

Did you export them from Audacity as 3 WAV files?
If so, do those three files play correctly?
If so, how big are those files?

Is the problem only when playing the CD that you made?

What's different this time? What's the playing time? i.e. Does "large" mean it might not fit on a 74 or 80 minute CD?

Once you have WAV files this is an iTunes problem.

Windows Media Player can burn CDs, or there are other burning applications.

Here is some information about burning CDs.

Personally, for burning CDs (and DVDs) I use ImgBurn. And I usually use a Cue Sheet, which you can create in Notepad. Typically I copy an existing cue sheet and edit it.

With a cue sheet you tell the burning software exactly how to sequence the files (if there's more than one) and where to put the track markers. So for example, you can have a big WAV file of a continuous live recording or a long classical piece with no gaps between songs and you can put the song/track markers wherever you want.
