Audacity / Fostex MR16HD - .wav? issues on pc

Hi, can I please lend some of your experience here?

Well, we got to the point where we wanted to export all the songs stored on PC from the Link Removed.

We wanted to import the files into Audacity, tweak the .wav files from there, then master the songs (correct terminology?) export, burn.

Anyway, after importing the 16 wav files from within a single song folder into Audacity & playing them, it was a sonic mish-mash, hotch-potch of a number of different wavs from different songs. Isolating the wavs we could identify which track .wav file belonged to which song - but ...

In your experience, should we try a different software / audio program or re try the song export from the recording unit to the PC - or are we stuffed and have to manually sort which wav files belong to which song? There's about 90 all up some are 2! hour long jams.

One final question, would all 16 wav files - even if there was nothing recorded into that track be the same length when viewed in Audacity?

Any advice is welcomed & appreciated.
Cheers

I would also import 1 song at a time, make sure it plays back, then save it. Go to next song.
