How to Split MP3 Audio into Multiple Tracks in Audacity

In this tutorial, you will learn How to Split an MP3 Audio into Multiple Tracks in Audacity which is a free open source audio recorder and editor. I’ve been using Audacity for a few years now and I mainly use it for editing my audio, but do sometimes use it to record voice-over. First, make sure to install the LAME MP3 Encoder in order to export your audio as an MP3. If you have the latest version of Audacity, you should be ok.

To split an MP3 into multiple tracks, follow these steps: (1) import your MP3 audio file using \File\Import; (2) press CTRL + B on your keyboard and it will create a separate track with labels; (3) type in the name of your label (for example, "Track 1"); (4) next, place your cursor at the next point where you want to create the second track, and press CTRL + B again. This will create a second label and you can name it "Track 2"; (5) continue this process until you finish naming the tracks.

Once you do the above, go to \File\Export Multiple; choose a folder to save the tracks; click Export; and then OK. This will automatically split the single MP3 into separate MP3 files. In a previous tutorial, I showed you How to Merge Multiple MP3 Audio Files into a Single MP3 Audio. Also, I’ve created several other Audacity tutorials on my YouTube channel and you will find a link below to the playlist.
