Create Back up copy of original file (just in case!)

In Reaper:
Import original 2 track file to new project
Split 2 track file at all appropriate points between songs/commercials by placing cursor at split point and hitting "s" key
Delete all unneeded items (Click+Delete on unneeded items)
For all remaining wanted items create a "Region" (select timeline of each item and hit "Shift" + "R")
Each Region created will be numbered sequentially. If you want to name the Region to song title then Right click on Region Header and select "Edit Region).
When completed you are ready to Render to individual files.
Open Render Dialogue (in "File" menu)
Set dialogue boxes as follows:
Source=Master Mix
Bounds=Project regions
Output=Directory to store files
File name=type "$region" (This will name each file by name or number shown in "Region" header
Select Sample rate, Output format, bit rate, etc. as desired
Push "Render"

These are the "generic" options in Reaper. For repetitive tasks you can create custom actions and scripts.

Hope this helps!

And don't forget to CREATE BACKUP COPY FIRST. ;)

Thank you so much! That should give me something to do during the snowstorm out here! Im very interested in creating actions and scripts, since i've got a ton of stuff to archive and organize. ill look into it. very cool.

You are welcome. We are supposed to receive your storm tomorrow.

If you are not already using SWS extension for Reaper I highly recommend downloading and installing. There are extensive additions to Reaper's toolkit, including some nice macros and action items.
