 | Editing Ripped CD into the MultiTrack Editor

I have a client whose 12 audio CD's (Voice lecture) I'm converting to a series of podcasts.
In ripping the CD contents to iTunes, I have each CD in 8-12 separate files rather than one full length file.
I'd love to know the best way to move this workflow that would be most efficient.
I have to align these files in sequence in the timeline. Some audio is set to be removed.
1), Should I assemble these clips of each CD in the timeline in Sound Track Pro 2, or should I use something else?
2) And when cutting audio out of the timeline, what do I do with the empty space? Can I select and delete with one click that empty space?
I asked this question on deleting audio some years back, and had it functioning with feedback, but how it has worked on the previous version of Soundtrack I had, sure doesn't work now on Version 2. I've searched the forums and can't find the answer or my prior asking of this.
Thanks for any quick tips on something most likely pretty simple.

Shaun,
In response to question (2):
If you are editing in the Multitrack workspace, use the Timeslice Tool (keyboard shortcut "w"). Select the area of the segment you wish to delete by dragging over it with the tool active. Now press Shift + Delete on the keyboard. When you do this I suggest you turn snapping Off. This will make it easier for you to make unrestricted selections.
What you are doing is referred to as a Ripple Delete.
And yes, multitrack applications work best when piecing together individual segments.

Ca-ching!
Thanks a ton for that Paul. Exactly what I needed. Seemingly simple, but I wasn't up to snuff with how to do that, haven't ever even used that tool as yet or been trained in it. Some quick learning curve to get through.

In regard to question 1, what is the best and fastest way you guys with a great command of the interface would do?
Will I locate the files, all broken "tracks" in the audio lecture on CD, get them into the bin or the "browser" then bring them one by one in succession to the timeline?
I guess I'm asking, is there a super fast way of doing this? If I were in FCP, I could drop a whole folder of clips to the timeline and they would all be put in sequence in the timeline. I wish Soundtrack were so simple, and perhaps it nearly is?
