Tracks on CD-Rs with long recordings

I record concerts from the radio that last more than one hour using
Goldwave. After the recording a CD-R is burned, but how do I divide
the long recording into tracks that the CD-R can recognise?

You split the big file into separage files for each song. Then you burn
it to CD-R with no gaps between the tracks.

For those preferring CUE sheets, I suggest CDWAV from
http://www.cdwave.com/
It is inexpensive but uncrippled shareware which facilitates splitting
WAV either into separate files or in a CUE sheet.

Your burning program can do this before you burn. Usually in the track
properties, you'll find a function for inserting breaks. Just be sure to
remove the 2-sec gaps if your program inserts them.

Experiments in progress with Windows Media Player 11, and Nero. Thank
you for the information.

Thank you for the information. Goldwave creates CUE sheet information
as a separate file, or exported as part of *.WAV files. I'm not
convinced that it makes cues a CD audio player will recognise.
Experiments are in progress with a CD-R and a cued *.WAV file.

Cue sheets are separate files. If it's embedded in the wav file, it's
not a cue sheet.

You shouldn't need convincing - it works. If the cue sheet is formatted
correctly, it simply tells the burning program where to insert track
breaks.

Nero is what I use to do this very thing. It will insert 2 sec gaps, but you
can remove all but the 1st one.
