Hello, if you use Sound Forge to extract audio from a cd, and you want the existing track marks to be included within the file, you just check the box in the extraction wizzard that comes up. I don't think it matters whether you choose markers or regions. If you have .wav file data on your hard disc, you can place markers at the desired track points with Sound Forge. You go to the top of the file, hit m for the first marker, go to the bottom, hit m for the end marker, and then go through the file, hitting m whenever you want a new track mark. Then you convert these into regions, by hitting alt s, r, and then m, and say yes to the prompt. Now you're not going to be able to burn a gapless disc from here. You will have to extract the regions into individual files and fix the sector boundaries. Sound Forge only has a track at once burner built in, meaning it has the two-second gaps. They do have a product called CD Architect, but I never figured that out, either by inaccessibility or through program confusion. Once you get the files correctly cut on sector boundaries, you'll want to make a lossless flac data set, which involves another program, your flac encoder of choice. I know this sounds overwhelming and complicated, but I've done this almost every day for the past few months, and frequently over the past four years, while collecting my ever-growing concert recordings. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes very smooth. Thanks a lot. Matthew
