anyway, this assumes you have one big file of the entire show. but if you have individual song files that include fade-outs at the end, then it would be tough to re-edit that into a CD that seamlessly flows between songs. at least it would be for me

The company that was going to burn our disks said we had to leave silence between cuts. I guess they used that to know where to place the markers. Keep it simple for all the people without software and skill to put them in them selves.
