I am recording cassette tapes to my computer using audacity and it works fine but when I go to burn the music to a cd all of the songs come out on one track. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Thank you!

First I used a Roxio program with my Blackberry and they were wav files and then I read posts on here and downloaded audacity and got the same results. Audacity saves as aud files but when I export the files I exported as wav files. I even tried recording on Roxio using custom settings that had options of automatically detecting track sep.
To burn files I have been using Windows Media player or RecordNow Audio.
When I use Roxio I 'see' a bunch of different wav files....for example I record a cassette with 5 songs on one side and then 5 icons of wav files show up but if you click to play them then all 5 songs are on each file. When I use Audacity I get just one file. I have spent hours looking at options in each program and trying different things.
Yeah, so this is your issue. I've never ripped audio cassette, so I can't help you here, but in order to have separate tracks on CD, you have to have separate files to burn.
I figured that is what I would have to get done but I was trying to do it without going out and buying special software to do it. (I am starting to think it would be worth it. ha ha). Thanks for helping me though. I will get it figured out one way or the other...I have until Christmas...my daughters and I want to take all of my husband's cassettes and make cds for him as a present. Surely I can do it in six months!
