"Align tracks" question

Post by DigitalDave » Sun Dec 10, 2017 7:44 pm

I am using Windows 10 and version 2.0.3.0 of Audacity.
I have read and re-read posts from three years ago about aligning numerous recorded tracks (each track is one song) "end-to-end" so that the final file can combine many songs on one CD. So far, this is the process I understand to use is:

Edit
Select
All tracks
Tracks
Align tracks

At this point there are about a dozen choices and I've tried them all and don't get the results I want.

FYI, I'm trying to digitize hundreds of 45s on as few CDs as possible. Thank you.

That's a very old version. I don't think it has "Align end to end".
The current version is 2.2.1 and is available via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

With the current version:
1) Ctrl + A (select All)
2) Tracks menu > Align Tracks > Align End to End
