How do I take one long mix of tracks and burn it to CD with track markers, but without having to chop it all up?

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.
