Hi again everyone, Thanks to Judith and David, both your posts were quite helpful and now I'm on my way. Jutith, I had missed the "Export selection" option on the File menu, that's a very good solution for most of what I'm trying to do. David, I appreciate your reminding me about Mute and Solo, those two things are making it easier as I work with multiple tracks.

Another thought is to take your selection and make it a .wav file or MP3 file then bring that file into your program using new. Judith 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
