1. Transfer your LP or TAPE to CD using my article "How to Transfer LP Vinyl Records to CD".
2. Now you have a masssive *.mp3 or *.wav file.
   Open the file using Nero's Wave Editor

5. Click File > NEW
   Press Ctrl+V (to paste it)
   You now have a single track in a window
6. Press File > Save and give it a name like "The Monkey Dance" or whatever you song name is.
   
   Close the single track window
   Now you still have the massive orginal track still open.
   High-light the 2nd track only and do a Ctrl+C

   Ctrl+V
   Save
   Name it

   Click Music > AUDIO CD
8. Add all of your newly created tracks
