I have cassette tapes that I am transferring to CD's. I never liked dead time on anything so when I put my 45's onto the cassettes there might be a second between songs. I need to not only clean and denoise the files but I want to cut them into individual files so I can put certain artists/songs on certain CD's. Will this software do that. I see the "scissors" but not sure if they will do what I hoped it would. Then I need to find software to burn the files to a CD. The Burn Express software doesn't read all the files or burns a blank CD wasting a complete CD. I know the burner works. I know the player works. I have a relatively new Compaq running XP Pro. Thanks!
