I've had CEP ver. 1.0 for years and I've never been able to work out if it will separate songs from the full recording for me. Can it do it? How do I do it?

0 ? ? ? My goodness!
From memory only at this point (I have a 1.2a CD somewhere, but it's presently uninstalled) I think that it should. If you select and highlight with the mouse the section of your entire recording that represents each track, you should have, in the file menu, a 'save selection' option. This would save just the section that you've highlighted as a separate file.
If CEP won't do it, any suggestions as to what will? (I've also got Audacity recently but don't know how well it does stuff.
Well, I think that CEP will - after a fashion. But I suspect that Audacity will as well, although it's not a particularly wonderful editor, IMHO. Your best bet, especially if you are going to do a lot of this, would be to purchase an up-to-date version of the software you've already got, because it has a significantly improved set of tools for dealing with vinyl restoration, and also has much better batching tools to let you do track separations, etc. So my recommendation would be Audition 3.0.
