Subject:wav file editing help - need to mark tracks

Hi,
I have created one large wav file using sound forge from a mini disc of a concert.
i would like to burn this to cdr, but before i do, i want to mark where each track begins and ends in this wav file (so that when i play it on my cd player i can scroll through tracks). i also would like to burn this wav to cdr using disc at once methodology, so there are no skips or 2 second gaps between the tracks. can i edit this wav file in sound forge to recognize where each track begins, and still keep it as one wav file? if i can do this, then i will be able to transfer all my cassettes to cdr in this manner, and i will love sound forge forever! thank you in advance.

CD Architect made incredibly short work of tasks like this. Since CDA is no longer on the market, here's how to do it with SF:

1) Drop Markers and adjust to taste...you might want to position them at zero-cross points just to be safe.
2) Convert Markers to Regions (Special | Regions List | Markers to Regions)
3) Extract all regions to individual .WAV files (Tools | Extract Regions)
4) Assemble the .WAV files in order in your favorite DAO burning app with zero second gap between tracks and burn.
