CD Wave is a program designed to aid in CD-Recordable mastering. It was built for splitting WAV files from any source, like LP, tape or even CD. After recording, you can let CD Wave automatically calculate split points, or you can manually add and delete split points. After this, you can write out the tracks as individual wave files and use any CDR mastering program to write a disc that has no clicks or pops in between tracks. Also supports 24-bit and surround audio.

CD Wave can also act as a simple audio recorder and editor, allowing you to record and playback audio, and cut out parts that you want to keep.

Since CD Wave can read and write CUE sheets, you can also use it as a CUE sheet editor for CDRWin.CD Wave (1.92) can write files in OGG Vorbis format, in FLAC (lossless compression) audio and in MP3 format (if you have the LAME encoder) directly.

The following was changed/added (since 1.93)

---

Some more experiments in why some soundcards give an error on playback

Enhanced "split on interval" function, which looks for silence near the set time interval and splits on the most silent part there. Ideal for splitting (spoken) text.

Smarter "auto-numbering" of tracks, no longer numbers tracks that won't be saved

New directory tree in save dialog. Now shows desktop and network dirs.

Fixed Dutch translation (which was broken in 1.93 beta 2)

Support for APE file format (use at own risk)

Added unicode layer redistributable, preventing the "unable to initialize the unicode layer" error when loading the APE library.
