I am looking to sell an audio guide via the internet. My problem is that it contains several tracks and when converted (ripped) to an MP3/4 file it then has them as seperate tracks. For ease of download it should be just one file but with spacers for each track.
Any idea how to achieve this - What software do we need?

Re: Converting Audio CD to MP3 - Keeping All Tracks
Well, I'm not exactly an expert in this area, but it sounds like you want to rip your CD to an image file with a CUE sheet to describe the layout of the disc. This is easy to do with FLAC (and other lossless formats such as Monkey's Audio), but lossless algorithms generate much larger files than lossy algorithms such as MP3. If you want to make it available for download, then obviously file size will likely be a concern for you.
If you want to do this using the FLAC format, you can very easily do it using AutoFLAC. Simple select the
Rip to imageandCreate cue sheetoptions (perhapsEmbed in imageas well if you truly want just a single file). If you'd rather use MP3 or Ogg Vorbis to get a smaller size, I can't recommend anything in particular, but I'd recommend checking the Hydrogenaudio Forums for advice. Based on a quick search it looks like this may be possible, but I just don't know how you'd do it.Hope this helps.
