I think I have it now, I will need to try it out. Gene's suggestion of just deleting the first selection is also appealing based on its simplicity, so I'll play around with these options when I get a chance, thanks.

Hi Rich,
assume that your first song starts at 1 minute and ends at two minutes, and the 
second song starts at 3 minutes and ends at four minutes.
Initially the cursor is at time zero, and the track is selected
You start playback, and press [ and ] at one and two minutes to select the 
first song, and export the selected audio.
At this stage, there's a selected time range going from one minute to two 
minutes. If you press right arrow, then the time range is deselected, and the 
cursor is at the time two minutes, the end of the fist song.
You can now start playback from two minutes, and press the [ and ] keys at 3 
and 4 minutes to select the second song.
Does this make any more sense?

David.

I did not set any times, I just placed the brackets by listening and
pausing the playback at the beginning and end of the song.  I want to
advance to the next song by moving ahead and listening and resetting the
brackets.

the start of the selection used to be.

Let's say you have a sound file of several songs in Audacity.  You press left 
square bracket and space bar at the beginning of the first song and right 
square bracket and space at the end of the first song.  You have now selected 
that song and can export it into an MP3 file.  How can you then move those 
brackets to the next song for exporting without starting from the beginning of 
the entire file?  I tried following the manual on this, but I could not get it 
to work.
