Default How do you break down a 2 hr. mix in to two 1 hr. sessions?

Using something like CD Creator how would I take a mix that is two hours long and break it down in to two one hour parts?

I've tried to use the fade out feature to tell it to fade out at the 60 min. point but I keep getting "the track you are trying to record is currently too large for the disc you want to use" or something to that effect. Does anyone know the in's and out's of how to edit these things?

I've read the user's manual for the program and it has nothing relating to this subject.

don't use something like CD Creator. Use real audio editing software to edit, then burn it to a disc using cd creating software.

Only way I've been able to do it is to convert the mp3 to .wav (I use MUSICMATCH for this) and then edit the .wav file in a sound editor (I used SoundForge for this).

There must be editors that work on mp3s directly.

What I would really love to figure out is how to index a .wav file (and mp3 for that matter) so there are cue points. Nothing worse that have a 70 minute mix on one track. I always end up hitting the wrong button and changing the disk and then have to skim through 50 mintues to get back to where I was!!

Use "cool edit" converts mp3 to wav and wav to mp3. I had to breakdown a Paul van dyke Radio one live essentials mix to two cds this way.

Use Kazaa and do a search for the app.

Great pointers. Thanks. So much to learn and so little time to learn it.
