Hi Brad,
 
Here's a method which is similar to the one given by Gale.
I'm assuming that you've got a project which contains a number of short tracks, 
all starting at the same time, and that you want them to play one after each 
other.
1. Unselect everything by pressing ctrl+shift+a.
2. Move to the first track, and select it by pressing enter.
3. Press k to move the cursor to the end of it. (pressing k moves to end of the 
data in all the selected tracks, which in this case is only a single track).
4. Then press enter to deselect the track.
5. Move the next track, press enter to select it.
6. On the tracks menu open the align tracks sub-menu and choose align with 
cursor. This moves the selected track so that it starts at the cursor, which 
you've previously set to the end of the previous track.
7. Press k to move to the end of the track.
8. Press enter to deselect the track.
9. For the remaining tracks, repeat steps 5 to 8.
 
After you've done this, if necessary you can mix the tracks down to a single 
track by pressing ctrl+a to select everything, and then choosing mix and render 
on the tracks menu. Note that if you use the export command to save the project 
to a standard audio file, then the tracks are automatically mixed down.
 
best wishes,
David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] appending recording

Hello everybody, I have a question to ask. 

I was working on a project where I took clips from various songs, I wanted to 
append them so that they sound like a radio ad. "some of the songs coming up 
this hour" type of thing.
A piece from beachboys, I get around, then a clip from another song, etc.

I have tried selecting each track, then going to the end of the first track 
with the Mac shortcut which seems to be "k" then using the join command, but 
this isn't working. Can anyone give me some tips please. Thank you all.
