Sound Finder divides up a selection by placing region [[Label Tracks|labels]] for areas of sound that are separated by silence. Use this to make the labels show the exact region of each track to be exported. This lets you remove some or all of the silence between the tracks.

If any album tracks have more than one label, increase the silence level and duration. If any labels extend into other album tracks, reduce the silence level and duration.
{{tip|If you already have a label track and that is included in the selection that you make for the analysis then these labels will be added to your selected label track - possibly causing confusion with your existing labels. 
*'''Workaround:''' Ensure you just select audio track(s) and include no label track in the selection for the analysis.}}
