Need your expert help here, TAs.
If you download an entire CD from the likes of Napster, and burn it onto a CD, its burnt as one entire track, even though its made up of different tracks.

How do you take the mp3 as it sits as an entire track and 'chop' it up so that you can skip to certain sections?

Does this make sense?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Any Audio Editor will do , Wavelab , soundforge , Cool Edit . Most people will use Cool Edit because its easy and cheep and you can get a crack very easily . Import the mp3 file , turn it into a wav file than cut the songs , than burn back to a CD .

Thanx again, DJ Pete!

wouldn't it be easier to type a cuefile?

Wouldn't it be easier yet to use CDRCue to make a cuesheet? This is a great little utility that lets you play the mp3, you can pause it and add in a track break. You can fine-tune the break point down to the individual frame, so it's pretty precise. Using cool edit or whatever and then burning the individual WAV files will create gaps between the tracks, even if you burn it as Disc at once. If you use a cue file this doesn't happen.
You need to use CDRWin to burn the cd as this is about the only burning program that supports cuesheets. You can get this from: http://www.goldenhawk.com/
and you can get CDRCue from http://www.dcsoft.com/prod03.htm

Hope that helps!

Cheers fellas!
I've just downloaded all those and I'm going to get to work!
Thnax again!
