Hi. I posted this in the CD-R section with no results, although I'm pretty sure I posted it in the wrong place. So I'm trying it here.

I've bought a few CDs in the past where certain content is played only if the disc is played straight through, and not if a certain song is skipped to. If I look at my CD player, watching for the elapsed time, it shows a negative elapsed time, until the track starts. (ie. -00:03, -00:02, -00:01, 00:00, 00:01...) But if I skip to a track (say that Track 7 is the one in question) it starts at 00:00 and continues from there. The only example I can think of right now is "Stockholm Syndrome" by blink-182 on their newest release (I think it was the untitled one) -- don't judge my taste in music, I bought that back in high school. Hahahahah.

My band is looking to put something like this on our CD, which we'll be pressing ourselves, on CD-R. Any clue on how I could do this? Or is this only an option with a commercially pressed CD?

Thanks.

Hi.

There is an option to do this in Nero, you can select the gap between tracks (I normally set it at 0 seconds) and it will have the same effect and count up to the beginning of the song.

Alright. Will Nero allow me to put sound in there, during the gap? Basically what I want to do is put a short snippet of sound that plays between, say, Track 2 and Track 3, and is about four seconds long, that plays when the album is listened to in sequence, but not if Track 3 is specifically skipped to. I know this sounds weird, but I know that it has been done and I'd like to do it too.

Thanks.

The only way that I can thik of doing this would be to make them as seperate tracks, or add them onto the end of the song before...
