Thanks for pointing out this program, I'll give it a try. In the meantime, I
noticed that the website said that there is a 31 days free trial. After
that, you must register the program and the cost to register is $15.
Unless, of course, the program doesn't check for the 31 days. In which case,
it's a matter of conscience.
Stan

Hi all,
Here's a really easy little utility called Cd wave editor for splitting
those big tracks. It's free!

Craig;
I usually record an entire LP side and break it up using Cool Edit. It easy
to do and you can easily verify where a cut ends. Here's my procedure:
1) record using Cool Edit.
2) when recording is complete, save the file. Just in case there's a
mistake.
3) When you look at the resulting waveform, it looks solid. What you must do
is to zoom in so that you can see where the spaces between cuts are. The
Zoom To Center button is in the lower left side of the Cool Edit display. It
has a plus + sign on it. Press it once and you zoom in. Press it again and
the waveform is zoomed more.
3) select the first cut.
4) under the Edit menu, click on "copy to new" and the selected cut will be
copied to a new waveform
5) Save the new waveform and, then edit the new waveform until you're
satisfied and save it.
6) return to the original waveform - the same cut should still be selected.
7) delete the selected portion by pressing on the button above the
waveform - it looks like a written letter "e". Optionally, you can save this
wave form.
8) repeat until all the cuts are separated.
I've tried software to do this auto-magically but have always had the same
problems you mentioned.
Let me know if you have any questions.
