Is there software that allows one to edit an audio CD track directly, rather
than encurring the loss of first converting it to a wav or mp3 or other
analog file format?
Not sure about the editing part but you can convert to an lossless format such as Apples Lossless (itunes), Windows Media Audio Lossless (windows media player), and the open source format FLAC (http://flac.sourceforge.net/) (and not lose any sound quality).
All you would have to do is find an audio editor that allows you to work with/edit any of those specific format.

Can't directly edit the audio CD track, import the audio CD track to PC, then with Mp3 editor, FlexiMusic Wave Editor, Convert the audio CD track to wav file format (not to Mp3 or any analog file format). It is better to save the master audio file in normal audio format (*.wav) and use it for editing, so as to avoid the loss of conversion.
