Burning a concert cd

I want to burn my newly acquired Freddie & the Fishsticks show to cd. (thanks pgr17)
Here's my question, I can use my audio software to split it into separate tracks, but I'll get that short pause between tracks that I don't want. I want my end result to be like the Live at Fenway cd, in that I can skip from track to track, but I won't hear any pause at all while listening straight thru. Is there some sort of track marker or indicator that I insert?

Try to find a "disc at once" instead of "track at once" setting.

I'm not sure what software you use to burn the CD.
If you put the music on iTunes and make a playlist out of it, go to Edit-->Preferences-->Advanced-->Burning. One of the options should be Gap Between songs. Check 0 seconds for no gap. You can have anywhere from 0-5 second gaps
Oh, and another thing with iTunes and the Aspen concert I found was that you will have to create 2 CD's (unless its an MP3 CD) and split somewhere around Piece of Paradise or Heart of Gold.

Yeah, I'd have to use "disc at once" but I'd still need to slice up the multi-song .mp3 into individual songs, right? Then using "disc at once" would reconnect them almost seamlessly? As I've been reading, you can't completely eliminate it, but get it down to 2/75 of a second.

I usually use Sonic, one of their options is "pre-gap" for each track, from 0 to 20 seconds. The default must be a couple of seconds, I've never changed this setting before. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks, everybody.

There are many ways to skin a cat!!!
If you are using Easy CD Creator or Roxio and found that "disc at once" feature...yes, just put about half of your mp3 files from the show (like jb10 says) on your music cd and click that feature before you record.
I have never figured out how to reset the default to always record using disc at once, so I have to make sure I do that again on the second music cd created for the last half of the show.
