    I have read and searched as much information I could find and still have questions. Below is information concerning 2 audio cd's I have. Instead of the cd's being multiple tracks, it's just 2 long tracks for each cd. Is this the proper way of making multiple tracks? If I straight burn with Nero and not change anything will Nero create multiple tracks automatically? Thank You!

    For those keen to get the cue file for this torrent (or any torrent for that matter) there is a great site called cuesheet heaven @

    http://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/search.php?search=archive

    . Just do a search for trance nation 3 and you will find the cue sheets for both cd1 & 2. Cut n paste the text into a .txt file and rename it to a .cue file. you will also have to change the FILE line with the text below for each cue file respectively.

    CD1 : FILE "01. Ministry Of Sound - Trance Nation 3 mixed by Ferry Corsten CD1.mp3" MP3
    CD2 : FILE "02. Ministry Of Sound - Trance Nation 3 mixed by Ferry Corsten CD2.mp3" MP3

    I have no img file and it is my understanding that ImgBurn is only for DVD.

    most albums floating around that are one single track are electronic or live albums that are gapless between tracks. Mp3s don't play seemless albums very well, so that is why they are often shared as one long track, then the cue sheet is provided so you can use EAC (exact audio copy) or other program to burn the CD and be chopped up according to the cue file.

    I understand that. Basically, if I have no cue file then there isnt a way to split the tracks!? However, one source told me that if I just burn using Nero it will happen on its own. I havent tested it yet. Is it possible that the cue is somehow in the actual file? I certainly didnt have a cue seperate as I normally do! Thanks for your time by the way!

    if you don't have the cue file, you can always look up the track times on amazon.com, or freedb.org, and make your own cue sheet in notepad.

    I'm not sure if nero handles audio cue sheets, since they are different then bin/cue images. I use EAC to burn my audio cues.

    Also, to split an mp3 album into its individual tracks, you can use mp3 splitter & joiner or mp3 surgeron.
