I have some mixes in MP3 format. These mixes are just one
file. What I need to know, is there a way that I can take
that one file, put it on a CD and create tracks points as
the mix changes without any breaks in the playing. In other
words, I have a 60 minute mix with 20 songs in one MP3 file.
I want to make a music CD with this one file, but create
20 tracks with this file and I want the music to flow.
Any ideas? Your help would be REALLY appreciated.

Here's what you need to do:

create a cue sheet. A cue sheet is basically a text file with track times and other album info in it that tells the program you are using where to split the mp3 file. If you just want to burn the album to CD, use the "write CD" function of EAC (exact audio copy). It is a free program...other burning apps like Roxio or Nero don't read audio cue sheets. Or if you just want to split the album into individual mp3 tracks, you can use a program called mp3 surgeon.

This is an example or a cue sheet:

Copy the above info into a new text document in notepad. Then change the artist/album/track info according to your album. Then scan through the mp3 and change the time index for each track to the appropriate time. Save the file, and rename the extension to .cue. Presto.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
