Hi everyone,
 
I'm a pretty new Audacity user, and I'm guessing this is a simple thing to
do, but after spending a couple of hours over several different days working
through the Audacity For JAWS Users guide and thinking I understand how to
do the following, I'm reaching out for help because I'm not accomplishing
what I want to do:
 
Using the Audacity 1.3.3 Beta, I've loaded in an MP3 track that I created
from a stereo cassette and I want to divide it into several smaller tracks.
I can get as far as doing the selection, and can verify reading the edit
spin boxes in the track selection toolbar that I have the particular piece I
want selected, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to take that
piece and create a separate track with just that piece.  I tried opening a
new stereo track, but when I try pasting into this new track it doesn't seem
to get there because when I try to play the new track it sounds like I have
what's on the original one.  Can someone either help or at least point me in
the right direction?
 
Thanks so much in advance for any help,
Pete De Vasto
