I use Diamond Cut software, but it requires cutting your file into multiple WAVs (but it does preserve the original). You just put markers where you want each track to be, then run the cut command. Then I just use Nero to burn the CD with the "no gaps" between tracks option selected. That allows for track changes when you play it, but doesn't leave a gap in the applause of the live performance. After I burn the CD, I just delete the individual WAV files and keep the original (for posterity). It's a simple matter to cut it up again, if I need to.

DC8, the latest version, is $159, but you can get an earlier version which does the same thing, DC Millennium, for $59. You can also get a 15-day free trial version to try, if you wish.

Others may know, but I don't know of a free software that does this. Perhaps an Audacity user could chime in.
