What if one song is split into too many pieces?

Increase “Minimum Silence” or use a stricter silence threshold and try again. You can also merge neighboring segments manually.

Why is a continuous mix still one segment?

Without quiet gaps, automatic segmentation may not find the transitions. Add cuts manually or keep the mix as one track.

Can I delete the original afterward?

First check that every track you need is saved and plays correctly in your Library. Keep a backup if you may want to edit the original again.

Adjust segmentation to suit the gaps in your recording.
