Add "Tracks" to a lengthy .cda file

RickJ · #1 Nov 2, 2009, 06:11 AM

I've got a lengthy .cda file on a CD. It's audio only.

I'd like to move it to my computer and then add "tracks" to it (that is, points that could be forwarded to or backed up to...probably about 3 minutes apart) and then burn it back to a cd.

Currently it is 1 hr, 33 minutes.

What type of software do I need to get that done? Are there any freebies that I can use to do it?

Thanks!

By "points" do mean that pressing the "next" button on your CD player would bring to you to that track?

Yes. I should have clarified that. I can "fast forward" the file using the "slide bar" if I'm listening to it on my computer, but I'd like to put it on a CD so that people using a typical cd player (like in a car) can use "next" or "back" to jump back a couple minutes - or go forward a couple minutes...

Ah, then you could "rip" it to mp3, then cut into individual files then burn them back to audio CD in the order you wish.

Here's your links to the free tools:

Aha! I see that I've got Audacity on my computer... probably for some thing I used it for long ago. Thanks, NK!
