Hi Rob,
Okay, so you have aligned them end to end and you want to check what
happens where the files come together without having to listen through
the whole thing.
To check the end of file 1 and the beginning of file 2:
Select only track 1.
Press Shift+j. This will move you to the end of track 1.
Back up a little with the cursor or selection bar or comma and press space..
To get to the end of the second track, deselect the first track and
select the second.

Yes I's use "Align End to End", and yes you can play the project
before exporting.

Yes, I will do some editing of the individual files before I combine them.
I open Audacity and press control-o to open files.
Audacity says select 1 or more files.
I select the 3 files and press enter.
Audacity opens the 3 files, but each file appears to be in a separate
project or instance of Audacity. I have to press alt-tab to move between
the files. I get the same result if I "Import" rather than "Open" the
files.
The first question is how do I get the 3 files into 1 project as separate
tracks. I actually had 2 of the files in a project yesterday, but I don't
know what I have done since then to mess things up.
After I finish editing the individual tracks, I think I should use "Align
End To End" in the "Tracks" menu to combine the tracks into 1. Is this the
best way to combine the files?
After I align the tracks, how can I play the finished product before I save
the file so I can determine if I need to remove any gaps where the files
join?
I appreciate any help.
