Most of the times, when you have a mixed (or live) CD as mp3s and you convert it to wav files, for burning it to a CDR, there are gaps with silence at the start and at the end of each wav file (I guess this is because of the conversions). Is there a way, using Cool Edit (or another utility) to remove these gaps in order to burn the CD in Disk-At-Once mode? I am doing it using Cool Edit, by editing each file separately. Any other suggestions?

Open your mp3s, edit out the silence at the ends, then save them as .wav files. Burn the CD with DAO. Simple.

That's what I am doing now. But if you have 30 or 40 or 50 etc. tracks to edit out, it takes ages to do it. I thought that perhaps someone will know a useful utility (or an option in Cool Edit) that can do this process in a batch processing manner.

This was discussed some months ago on this forum. The end result was that a general consensus was arrived at - You either do it manually, or you do it twice. Reason? Because there isn't any tool that is quite like the human ear, and certainly not good enough to second-guess the proper edit points.
