 I would imagine that your problem with the song spaces getting noticed has
 everything to do with your source being a tape, as opposed to a CD.  The
 program is listening for a period of silence; the tape playback has
 apparently too much noise (slight hiss -- these things can be sensitive).
 
 I once had a component burner that would give me the same sort of fits --
 even with cds when I recorded them via analog RCA cables.  My solution there
 was an optical cable, but that won't help a tape.
 
 I would think you have two options -- either record the tracks one by one,
 either by starting and stopping manually, or taping the tracks individually
 on another tape before recording them to the computer (though I haven't
 found a tape deck in at least a decade that still copied directly and wasn't
 shot out); or by taking your one big long track and splitting them up with
 an audio editor.  I can't tell you which one will do this, but failing a
 simple google hunt, I'm sure some of the techheads 'round here will tell ya.
