I am currently using Audacity 1.3 music editing program. I have a file that is in MP3 format and contains a group of music song stung together. How can I get each song back to a single track so I can burn a CD with multiple tracks like a regular music album? Thanks Chuck Chuck Wisher

If this file is really one simple MP3 file and not packed with tools like AlbumMaker or something like that, you can use mp3DirectCut. A real small tool, that lets you cut an mp3 file manually. http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html

You can use the editor to do it. You should be able to see the "gap" between songs on the waveform display. If not, play the file and note where the gaps occur. Select from start to middle of gap 1, and save it as MP3, and so on. It's something I've done often, especially with MP3s ripped from vinyl LPs. If you find you don't have the option to save as MP3, you need a LAME encoder - find a link on this page.

I would go with Paulsep's idea of using mp3directcut. Editors made for cutting up mp3's don't have to re-encode the mp3. Wave editors such as Audacity have to decode the mp3 before they can edit it. Then you have to re-encode the mp3 thus degrading the sound quality.

Hey folks, this isn't really an Office related thread, so if you don't mind, let's either end it here or move it to an OS related forum or some place more appropriate. I'm just trying to keep this forum relevant to its name. Thanks!

@DerbyDad03 I'm totally with you, but how can one move a posting to another forum?

You can't actually "move it"...not even a moderator can move a thread. You can however, ask your question in the appropriate forum and let the discussion take its natural course.
