    My son has just taken part in his primary schools easter concert and I recorded it. I have a single mp3 file of the whole concert. I was going to "cut up" this into the different tracks but I was wondering if there was a program that I could mark the seperate tracks in and it create the CD without the silent gaps between each song?

    I use a free audio editor called Audacity. It comes with some stock filters to improve the sound too. The program works very well.

    Open your large recording, locate the gaps, select a section using mouse, use Edit menu > export selection and save as track #. Repeat for additional tracks.

    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

    Go here and download Lame (libmp3lame-win-3.97.zip) for mp3 support:
    http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/

    Open the zip and put lame_enc.dll in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Note, this encoder will also enable Windows Media Player to rip CDs at 320 bit rate mp3.

    Thanks Tony,

    I had used Audacity to start with but I couldn't get it to output to mp3. I had lame 3.96 and when I loaded 3.97 as you listed it all worked fine.

    I hoped to avoid cutting up the recording but i think its the "easiest" way.

    Thanks again,

    Stephen

    Glad it worked.
    What I do is copy individual tracks and paste into new ones, then export them. I keep the original large recording intact.
