I think Audacity do a program called Spin-it-again, which cuts the tracks
and you even get to name the tracks before they are finalised.

I've read reviews on several of those off-the-shelf packages, just to get a
good sense of options. Of course, I couldn't tell anything about
accessibility, but  since I have a turntable and receiver, I'd prefer not to
buy new hardware. Some of the packages seemed to automatically create CDs,
another feature I don't want. I may put some stuff on CD, although I imagine
I will primarily just use the files on my computer and MP3 player. I have
enjoyed getting a sense of what's out there, though.
