Hi, how are you doing all!

Having some trouble with nero, was wondering if i could get a hand. At the moment I'm working on making cd's for use in a cd turntable. I want all the tracks to b of a certain length, the length must b a multiple of 1.8 seconds. The track can be 1.8, 3.6, 5.4 seconds, 10.8 seconds, 36 seconds, whatever really.

So i'm making tracks of these exact lengths in soundforge, and then saving them as .wav files. Then when i burn them onto cd's using nero, they end up being strange lengths. like a track that is supposed to b 3.6 seconds, will become 3.75 seconds long.

Why is this?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Peace out

are you basing that time on what the computer tells you the length is, you are you actually timing it while playing? because CD audio time isn't really that accurate, it just usually goes by the second. true there's a certain number of frames in each second, but what are you using to read the times?

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:
