  • When using windows media player to burn tracks onto a CD, how can I make it so all the tracks flow into each other (no pause between the tracks)??

    i have had the very same problem for so long now … you can select a setting in the options of some burners to take out gap inbetween tracks … but it’s not 100% perfect when i have tryed it … afaik i think you need a certain burning software to burn it without gaps between tracks but i haven’t found one that i can get working seemlessly as of yet … so can’t really help too much other than that info … if you find out please let me know cos thins has been a pain in my arse for years lol … i’m actualy gonna google to see if i can find any info cos i gave up on trying ages ago .. but might be able to find something now …

    most burning software fills the tracks with silence if the length of the track is not multiple of 588 samples even if the 2 second gap is turned off.

    “This is caused by the MP3-format:
    The mp3-format is a kind of compression with some loss of data, i.e. not the whole samples are stored, but – expressed in a simple way – some kind of “frequency curves”, i.e. the mp3-encoder analyses a certain range of data and then stores the “frequency curves” for this range.
    If now e.g. a live recording is stored in parts – one part in the first file, the following part in the second file – and compressed to the mp3-format, the encoding process is resetted for the second file – so the frequence curves (the end of the first file and the beginning of the second) don’t match exactly.
    In addition most mp3-files are “frame orientated”, i.e. the encoder sometimes adds empty samples to the end of a file to get a whole frame at the end.

    To put it together: Unfortunately it is not possible to always reconstruct the original data 100%-ly out of two mp3-files, that contain parts of continuous data.
    If you want to work with continouos data, you must save all tracks into ONE mp3-file or use the wave-format.”

    ok so what u need to do is uncheck the 2 second gap box some where in the menu … and then burn from wave format or you will still get a possable 0.01 second gap between tracks with mp3 alltho some burning software can get round the 0.01 second gap with some fidling aparently ..

    this looks like the better option of burning software

    Feurio has 2 options for gaps:
    – Insert no pauses between the tracks – round track marks
    In this mode Feurio! do not insert any pauses between the wave files, the wave files will be burned directly one after the other.
    Unfortunately there is a little problem with it: Due to the structure of the CD directory the start of a track always has to be a sector start. A CD-Audio sector contains 588 samples.
    If you use wave files that do not contain a multiple of 588 samples the next starting position can not be set exactly. In this mode Feurio! sets the track mark to the nearest sector start, i. e. the start position will be shifted a maximum of 294 samples.
    If you attach great importance to exact start positions, you have to choose the mode ”Minimum pauses – Fill up tracks to multiple of sector size”

    – Minimum pauses – Fill up tracks to multiple of sector size
    In this mode Feurio! inserts exactly as many null samples at the end of each wave file as are required to get a multiple of the CD sector size.
    If the used wave files already contain a multiple of the CD sector size, no additional null samples are added.

    there is an option to remove gaps in songs but obviously theres also the gap in the song its self which may be silent… i dont think theres a magic button for that but some higher end software may support some kind of algorithm that chops off the end of the song if its silent..

    basicaly u need to use wav files and take that 2 second gap button out to have seemless mix with tracks using software that can round trackmarks

    dont use windows media player to burn cds.. or do anything for that matter 😉

    the music ive been trying to burn has no pauses in it (its a techno mix). where can i find this option to remove the gaps you speak of?

    have u tried doing it this way m8? can it be done with windows media player?

    i am in the process of trying it with wave files now alltho i have removed the 2 second gap b4 .. my mix still had slight gaps between tracks .. i belive as it was mp3’s … i gonna give it a go in wave format see if i can do it properly …

    if u can find the option in windows media player to turn off 2 second gap in burning go for it .. i only use it for music play back tho .. every thing else gets done on otehr things

    When I was using windows I had a copy of Nero installed, if I was going to burn a mix I could view the file and choose points to split the track (it was done graphically where you could see the music – cant remember what its called tho) then selected no pauses between tracks and it worked perfectly.
