Hi, I'm new to Audacity. The last audio editor I used was SpinDoctor, so yeah, it's been a minute.
I imported a seventeen-minute AIFF file which includes four different songs, and I want to export each song separately as a FLAC file.
I followed the instructions on how to select only one song. The tutorials I found all say to highlight the section, then use File > Export Selection to export it. But my File menu doesn't have Export Selection. Or Export.
Was the Export Selection option eliminated in Audacity 2? Is it hiding somewhere I need to activate it? I don't get it. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Audacity 2.2.0
iMac Retina 5K running High Sierra 10.13.2
What happend to File > Export Selection?

Thank you!
Re: What happend to File > Export Selection?
However, I just don't have File > Export.
I had to do File > Save Other > Export Selected Audio.
Is there a way for me to get Export in my File menu?

Re: What happend to File > Export Selection?
In which case you are running an old version 2.2.0 - that was a temporary (not good) cjange for that version.
We reverted for 2.2.1 (and note that 2.2.2 should be out soon).
You can get the latest version from here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/
