The file awaits.  Here is the download link for 
export.mp3<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sendspace.com%2Fpro%2Fdl%2F38ilj4&data=02%7C01%7Ccsm120%40outlook.com%7C8d0291d0b7d944b46d3908d538a6ed02%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636477211948020461&sdata=0ewOLgeCe2naxmQIl0sG%2FHrIlPHxRClJUQca1M6g77M%3D&reserved=0>



The recording is a bit less than seven minutes and is a 9Mb download.



For those new to the list, you may also be interested in an audio introduction

 which I did a little while ago.  It is somewhat larger at 20Mb.



If you use Internet Explorer and it grumbles that the file may be evil, use 
Firefox or Chrome.

hi Andrew,

I couldn't figure out the method to split a file using CTRL + B in

audacity. I know only placing marker and selecting and exporting that

into an mp3 file. Could you elaborate please?

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,



I used to save portions of files by selecting them and then exporting

the

selections. Your way sounds easier and I plan to try it next time I

record a

long file. Thanks.

Hi Giri and welcome to the list.





I offer a different approach to that suggested by Ella.  Firstly,

shift-f6 is irrelevant for what you want to do.





One of Audacity's really nice features is labels.  I will not go into

detail here, but labels are well covered in the Audacity Manual.  What I

describe below is a basic technique.  With experience you could refine

the steps a little.





Firstly, open the MP3 file in Audacity.



At each point where you want to split the track, press control-b to

create a label.  That includes at the beginning of the track.



Give the label a name that you want that portion of the file to have

when exported.



Then, as Ella said, press shift-control-l to export multiple.  That will

open a dialog which is fairly clear to me as a long-term Audacity user

but you may need to get familiar with it.  Essentially you need to

specify where you want your files to be placed and answer the questions

about file splitting according to your requirements.

Audacity will then create the separate files.



Note that if you want to save to MP3 files you will need to have the

Lame encoder installed.  If you do not know what that means, ask for

more information here.

the remaining tracks and press control+shift+L to export multiple

files.  If you need more details, please let me know.

Dear all,

I am Giri Prasad from India Andhra Pradesh and this is my first mail

to the group.

As the subject says, I require some help in splitting an mp3 file into

multiple files.

How do I do this.

Thanks in anticipation.
