To clarify, are you wanting to have each album on a separate track?
Pressing shift-r with recent versions of Audacity will certainly start
recording on a fresh track. Assuming default settings, when you play back
you will hear the two or more tracks you have recorded.
Arrowing up and down will move between tracks. Pressing the Enter key on a
track will select/deselect it. For your purposes, be sure to select only
one track at a time.
Pressing shift-s on a track will solo it (press again to unsolo). Pressing
shift-u will mute a track.
You mentioned tagging. I am not sure if we are both thinking of the same
process, but I use Audacity's labels for providing navigation between songs.
I recently did a short audio tutorial on using labels for arranging
material, which you may find useful. Here is the download link

Feel free to ask further questions. Wiser minds than mine will also have
suggestions.

Subject: [audacity4blind] breaking audacity projects into tracks
I have been ripping vinyl albums into tracks for some years now and would
like to try to break them into tracks to do some tagging. I tried tracking
on the fly by stopping the recording with space and then quickly pressing
shift-r. I got several tracks but can't figure out how to play them
individually or to work with them. I'd appreciate some guidance on how to
make an audacity project with tracks.
