I find the trim silence function very useful, but I'm always concerned that the removed silence disappears (not good for permanent archival). I use flac for my home stereo format of choice, but if were to ever need to reburn a cd from my archive, and the tracks had been trimmed I would end up with a CD that was slightly different than the source. Yes cuesheets could remedy this to some extent, but I tend to allow slightly more than digital silence during trimming.
Example:
3 track CD with hidden track during track#3 and silence between track 1 and track 2
track #1 4mins
silence 2secs
track #2 3mins
track #3 10mins (4mins of silence between track and hidden track)
silence 3secs
I would like to be able to dump out the 4mins 5secs of silence to another file (which can be compressed) and record where the silence fits back in so I can rebuild the file in case of disaster. I realize this is extremely anal, but hyporthetically you could stuff songs you dont like or speaking passages into the archive and you wouldnt have them cluttering up your music library, but you could still have them archived.
