Ok, so I anticipate this question has been asked a thousand times, but you know when you have a folder of mp3's or flac's or whatever, say an album, and some of the songs/tracks blend into one another without a gap in the music, how can I make it like this when I burn to a cd audio?

I mainly use Nero, version 7 I think, and I remember on older versions there used to be a option where you could set the gap between tracks to 0 seconds, then it would blend normally. In my version there is an option to "remove silence between tracks", but checking this option does not do the trick. How do I do it?

Also, I have a couple of cd's I've burned that have the annoying gap in them, can I get the data back off the cd again and remove the gap and burn a new cd? Do I have to convert them back to mp3 first?

Thank you

Join them together via an editor like Audacity. Then you burn them together as a single Audio track. You can rip what you have as WAV files; if you rip as MP3 the quality will deteriorate as MP3, like all other lossy encodings, reduce quality each time you reencode with it. WAV is raw, original quality.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Hello

um, I don't want them as a single audio track, that would be silly, then I would have no option of navigating through the tracks at all. And if I rip them as wavs or mp3s or whatever and join them, they would still have the gap, but now as one single track! I would have to painstakingly remove the silence with audio editor, making them exactly join, which is what I'm trying to avoid in the first place. Thanks anyway

This question has been asked so many times I can't even count them. Here is a thread to a tutorial that will supposedly do what you want. I've never tried it & I've seen some people say it works & some say it doesn't work. You can try & see for yourself if you wish.

Thanks Digidave, I'll give that a try. Yes sorry to ask this old question again but it seems that there is a lot of inconsistency with this problem and the possible solutions. Perhaps a sticky in the relevant cd audio forum would be helpful on this matter, from someone who knows why some methods seem to work with some users/configs and not work with others.
