I've been wondering if there was a way to do this. For example, if I've made a DJ mix, and now I have one long WAV of it, can I just put it into some program and add markers for the track locations, rather than having to cut it up into a bunch of different tracks?

Preferably with something free, and cross-platform...

had this same question. want a program that allows me to just stick labeled tags on the long WAV without actually breaking it up "by hand" and saving each chunk as a separate track.

I think CD Architect or Peak Pro will do this. Not sure about Peak Express. I want teh free!

.CUE sheets and burning programs that can use them are your friend

Thanks - that actually (other than having to type stuff) seems like the simplest, most compatible way to do this.

having one big audiofile (not tested):1. generate a CUE sheet file: http://frontleft.com/cue/ (CUE sheet online compiler)2. open with your favorite cdr software and burn
OR
nero can do this in audioCD mode (dont forget to untag "2 second pause before each track"), i found the handling a bit confusing (some knobs are easy to oversee). just don't use any of the nero-filters like 'normalise' (its not losless). for normalising try mp3Gain.
big audio file + CUE sheet file -> want to split (physically) into tracks
i'm more comfortable with medieval mp3 splitter(freeware). its rather lightweight + losless, and "automatically generates a new CUE sheet file at the end of split process". 'automatically' means: 'write down the track times and enter them in mp3cuesplitter'.
after generating the CUE sheet file, you need a burner software that can read CUE files. like http://www.cdburnerxp.se/en/features

i can't recommend imgburn enough. handles .cue files, too.
