Hi Cuong,
If a time range is selected, then either pressing right arrow or using the edit 
menu to move the cursor to the end of the selection both do the same thing. So 
you don't have to do both.
Note that the use of left arrow or right arrow if you have a time range 
selected is exactly the same behaviour as when you have selected text in a text 
document. In this case right arrow deselects the text, and positions the cursor 
at the end of the previously selected text.

David.

Hi Rich
You can do this tips combine with the 
answer from David.
After exporting your first songs, press the right arrow 
key to deselect any time range
Now go to edit menu (Alt+e), up arrow afiew 
time to find "Move cursor".
Right arrow to open this sub menu, and choose "to 
selection end"
Now your cursor should be move to the point that you set to 
end selection of your first song
Press the [ key to set left selection 
boundary at this point, and play untill you find the end of your second 
song.
For instance, I suggest you add hotkeys for moving to start or end 
selection.
Hope that help

  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.
