You can rip the cd with EAC in one large file, and save itwith a cue sheet, and then instruct it to remove the gaps.I can't remember exact details at this minute, but I need to do this myself again , and I don't have EAC on my pc just now.Maybe someone else can help you just now.Worked great before when I done it - a lot easier than opening individual waves in an editing prog.
