I have a live recording of my band which was burnt right to CD continuously for the whole set but would like to burn a copy with spaces between songs so I can forward to each song (about 10).
Any suggestions?
I use Dell software to burn my CD's.
How to make spaces for songs on CD burn

You need an audio editing program then you can cut it into indifidual songs/tracks on the CD's.
Another option would be to play the CD, and have some recording (recording to hard drive) software that will "record what you hear" (what is playing on the PC speakers) then you can record the individual songs.
You can't use a program that automatically separates songs into separate files as those require a "quiet" gap between each song.
Since you have a Dell, it may not have anything useful that came with the basic software package. I don't know if the Dell jukebox (actually MusicMatch Jukebox) is the version that has the line in/what you hear recording capability (and depending on what sound card you have it may not have that capability either). The full paid MMJB Pro version does have the full recording capability. I don't know if the Dell on-board (on the motheboard) sound modules have the what you hear capability, but I know the SB Audigy 2ZS option that Dell sells has that capability. As does the retail SB Audigy2ZS and in fact comes with support software that will record what you hear, editing software, etc.
Another option is to have the entire CD "recorded" to the hard drive and then use an audio editing program such as Goldwave to do that. I have several audio editiors but I use Goldwave for my audio editing and for my CD "mastering". www.goldwave.com

Tony, Jack gives some good options.
I use cd-burner software called nero.
www.nero.com
Nero will allow you to 'rip' the current recording from the cd back to your hard drive as a .wav file.
It will then allow you to edit that single large wave in its editor by using the mouse to single-click positions markers at whatever points in the file you consider to be the start of the next song.
When you re-burn the .wav, the cd will now have a song index based on your position markers.
I find all the listed options to be a tedious but necessary part of digital music. Good luck in your quest.
