Hello Robert,
They are indeed point labels. And yes, you are right! Thank you very much!
I checked and Audacity is exporting from the label to the end of the project.
However, I don't think it's a bug because I've recorded and exported several
albums successfully since updating to 2.4.1.
This seems to have started after I saved a copy of a project as Lossless. I
can't recall anything else that I changed or did differently.

What sort of labels? There are region labels and point labels.
I could imagine that you use point labels (which always worked) and due to some
new bug, it exports from the label to the end of the project instead of just
the part til the next label.
In other words, does the big file hold just one song or actually the rest of
the project?
Also, check if it is really an Mp3 after export, e.g. in your player
-> properties.

Hi all,
I did a complete uninstall-reinstall of Audacity and the problem persists.
Here are the steps and settings that used to return manageable sized
MP3s with decent sound quality.
After labeling my songs, From export I choose export multiple Format
MP3 file Preset radio button checked Quality Combo box Standard,
170-210 kbps Variable Speed: Combo box Fast And stereo of course
As I said before, I now get huge 100 MB files which is ridiculous.
Much thanks,
StanB

Hi everyone, I believe some of you clever folk can help me figure this out.
Using Audacity, I've been recording albums from the Internet, labeling
the songs, and exporting multiple to MP3. The file sizes have been
around 3 to 4 MB per song after export.
Out of seemingly nowhere the files are suddenly huge, some more than
100 MB, most between 50 and 100 even though they are still MP3.
I've combed through all the settings I could find but nothing seems amiss.
I remember this starting to happen after I saved a copy of a project
as a Lossless copy. I don't see how that could make all my saves
going forward as Lossless but ...
Any ideas?
Much thanks,
StanB
