audio wrap file and burning the song that wraps around?

I have an audio file where the first song doesn't necessarily start at the beginning of the file. The whole file is 74:35 and one song starts at 57:00 and finishes at 0:07. So the last 7 seconds of the song wrap around to the beginning of the file again. It's fine playing it in Winamp because I have it set on repeat, but how the heck do I burn that song? The indexing in Nero Express won't work because it won't let you wrap around (you can only go straight through from 0:00 to the end). This is the only file I have like this, but I still would like a clean burn with no dead air for even a brief moment at the end of the song. I'm not even sure breaking it up into two songs would work either. Any ideas?

I suspect you'll have to use an audio editor to cut the beginning of your image and splice it to the end. You can also chop out the gap before the last song (if there is one). If you have a cue sheet for the whole image, you'll have to make adjustments, otherwise generate one with EAC.

The wav-editor in EAC works well. You can also use Audacity (freeware, runs under various OS including Linux and Windows).

Ah, the wav editor in EAC! I'll see if that works. Thanks!

After starting the process, it turns out I didn't need the last 7 seconds at the beginning of the file. It's all audience. 8) Thanks for introducing me to the EAC wave editing features though. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thank you.
