Audacity 1.2.6 is no longer supported (and does not work well on Windows 7). Please upgrade to Audacity 2.0.2 which you can get here: http://audacityteam.org/download/

You may find this tutorial helpful: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tu ... to_cd.html

Ok I DL'd the one for Win 7 and opened the folder where I recorded the music. I also added the Title and Song #'s to tags. But still as one CD with just one track for the whole CD. Am I doing something wrong...Thanks again for the replies...

You need to split the recording into separate files before making the CD.
See parts 4 and 5 of the tutorial that I gave the link to.

If you installed Audacity 2.0.2 using the recommended installer, the manual will be available in the Audacity Help menu.
The manual open up in your web browser so it is easy to add "bookmarks" ("favourites").
