Once you have recorded it, the entire recording is shown as a wave. 
This is playable with a point marker that is moveable. This allows 
you to use either sound or visual to select a piece the full track, 
then cnrl-x to cut the track from the main recording, cnrl-n to put 
up a new file and cnrl-v to paste the piece in. select "export as mp3 
and choose a track name.....  once exported you can close the new 
file and repeat for the next track. Once you are down to one track 
left, you dont need to cut and paste, just export. I can do a 
standard album in about an hour (half an hour per 22 minute side), or 
a little longer for "live" albums without track breaks. The majority 
is playing the album into the computer.

The other advantage is that you can save the main recording at any 
point and come back to it by opening it in Audacity. Then break it 
down easily. I tend to put in full Id3 tags(1) when exporting, but 
you don't have to.

I hope this helps.

(1) the tags for Artist/album/track number etc that show in most 
music player programs.
