Good morning everybody,
Windows 7
I have recorded music from tape cassette. Everything is OK except that I do not know how to split it to individual songs (tracks). Can someone advice, please?

Best regards

Fred SVOBODA

You need to split the recording into separate files. You can do this by placing labels at the start of each 'song' and then using "Export Multiple".
More details here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spli ... racks.html

If you intend to make an audio CD, the CD burning software will handle making a compilation of the tracks in the right order.
If you intend to play the tracks on an MP3 player, you can create a playlist to tie the tracks together into an 'album'.
