I'm recording WAV from my turntable onto hard disk. How can I convert the result to .cda so I can write to a CD (using Nero 6, I suppose to write the .cda tracks). Can I do the whole thing in Nero?

Just burn the wavs to audio cd in nero. It will automatically change it to cda.

Thanks, I figured. How do I arrange the order of the tracks to be the same as on the LP? Is that obvious in Nero?

I'm recording separate WAV files right now from the tracks on the LP, will be done in 15 minutes or so. I also want to have CD Text set up in the CD burn. My CD players have 300 and 60 slots. CD Text is mandatory!

Finished the burn and it's perfect. Only shortcoming is a second or two of silence at the beginning of each track, but I can live with that. CD Text is there, it's neat. My first LP ---> CD conversion. I'm on my way!

There should be an option for "gapless" mode (or something like that) when you burn the CD. That will eliminate the two second gaps between tracks.

I think I prefer the gaps except that when you cue up a track you want it to start on cue. I'm a DJ on a college radio station, so occasionally I'll play some of these on the radio. I know what to do now, though. I can chop off the beginning or end of a WAV easily in Audacity before making the CD burn. I just chopped a couple of tracks... I'm making my 2nd LP-->CD conversion right now. It's not something I can do unattended at the moment, although I guess I could chop up each side of an LP as WAV in Audacity.
