Rip the CD track and import it into your favorite audio editor. With
some editors this is a single operation.

Mark the first selection and export it to a file (like track01). Do the
same for the rest of the selections (only with a different name for each
file, like track02, track03, etc).

Drag those files into your audio CD burner and set the inter-track delay
to zero (unless you want gaps, unlike the original). Note that the
first track has to start with a 2-sec delay (in case your burner doesn't
tell you).

Burn a new CD.

Find a cue sheet editor and burning software that honors cue sheets.

Search google under "cue sheet editor".

If you use a CD player that handles index marks, this won't be a problem.

Same with that Glenn Gould recording of the Goldberg Variations. All one
track with lots of indices. It was a great idea in 1983, but today lots of
players don't even know what index marks are.
