Pause Between Tracks
I listen to a lot of dance/trance cds. I download them or I buy them
and rip them, either way I've been collecting them for a good while onto my HDD. Now, I am not talking about that 2 second pause between the tracks. I burn my albums back to cd-rs using Nero 6, Disk at Once, and I even tell it to have no pause. Regardless, I cant seem to get rid of that millisecond pause, i can't seem to make it make a smooth transition from one track to another; as they were on the original cds I ripped them from. I've checked my files and they were ripped correctly with no spaces at start or finish. Regardless, I think it is just Nero. Does anyone know of any software which will sort of autodetect spaces between tracks and patch them up? That isn't really even the problem, the tracks have no spaces, but i just cant get it to make that smooth transition from track to track; I have tested on multiple media and burners including dvd burners, and I know its Nero. I need another software solution that can help me with this. Software meant to burn audio cds, Nero is wonderful but i'm aiming to be able to rip an original disc to mp3 (tracks separated into files) then put them back onto a cdr without a bulky transition.. Please, if you can help me, email me or post back. Thanks |

I may have read this wrong but....
I think your problem lies with it being an MP3 it takes time to go to the next track on MP3 players.You may need to make it one continuous track in order for it to play properly on an MP3 player. If it does this in WAV format then maybe you need to edit the beginning and end of the WAV a little more. If its not either of these 2 things it got to be a software issue.

Please, if you can help me, email me or post back. Thanks There is no sense in using a lossy format, such as MP3, for what you seem to be doing. Among the problems it generates is that the track boundaries are not preserved, leading to a situation such as you describe. That is in addition to loading the system for compression and decompression. The problem is not Nero; you can use another program in the same way and get the same results. Rip to WAV to get rid of your problem, then compress the WAVs to MP3 if you want to save them in that format as well. If you're trying to write an MP3 disc without interruption, Troy's reply is fitting. Moving from one file to another on a computer disc requires seeks which inevitably interrupt the flow. On a hard drive, the interruption may be negligible but on a CD-ROM it is significant. Note that seeks are avoided on CD-DA by not using files at all. The audio is in a continuous data stream; the TOC points to the start address of a track, but one can play through the track boundary without interruption because only the data stream is being played.

From reading things here, I gather most burning software burns data in full frames and if only a partial frame is present, silence is used to fill the time. If that is indeed the problem, I've seen Feurio recommended as the only burning software that can overcome the problem. I haven't used it myself, but it's highly regarded for audio burning.

If that is indeed the problem, I've seen Feurio recommended as the only burning software that can overcome the problem. RecordNow Max, bundled with my Sony DRU-510A drive,also works beautifully when burning these type of tracks. So did CD Extreme, an earlier version of the same software, which came bundled with the Sony CRX-160E drive that I purchased in 2001. Sadly, the title appears to have been acquired by Sonic of Japan, and they're now selling a totally revamped version. It has fewer features, and seems to have nothing in common with the older editions. I downloaded it as a free "update" back in December, disliked it immediately, and went back to the version furnished with my drive. It may still work with continuous tracks, but I never gave it a try as I didn't like the interface or the reduced feature set. The original RecordNow software, version 4.5, still appears at the Stomp website, but clicking to buy it simply displays a "temporarily unavailable" error message. |

Something has to fill the track. In some older software, whatever was lying around on the disc after the audio finished was used. Today, all software I know just fills with zeroes - which is not a happy solution either, but is better than random numbers. No software can 'overcome' the 'problem'. There is no problem. Tracks must end and begin on block boundaries. If the data do not fit, no software can make them do so. When you know how to write a track address in the TOC with half bits, quarter bits and so on, the 'problem' will be amenable to solution. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

It's as easy as filling the last samples of the track with the first samples of the following track. It's the only way to have gapless transitions from that kind of WAV files and that's what Feurio does. It also offers the option of filling with silence. www.feurio.com Nero is wonderful but i'm aiming to be able to rip an original disc to mp3 (tracks separated into files) then put them back onto a cdr without a bulky transition.. That's not possible. If you rip to MP3 format, small silences will be added to the start and end of track. You must use WAV format. |

I think wahat you are talking about is cross fading.It can be done a few
different ways with different types of software.Some burning software does this and it can be done with multi track WAV editors also. The main problem that was being addressed was that the poster could not get the 1 or 2 second gap between songs in MP3 format even though his origional WAV files had no silence at the beginning or end of the song. The problem is that with MP3 players they take time to go from track to track.This has nothing to do with software or MP3 software adding in silence.This is a hardware issue.The player is ending one MP3 and taking time to load the next. This can be fixed by editing all your tracks in WAV files and joining them together into one big WAV file then encoding them to MP3.You can add cross fades in before you encode to MP3 and this will give you the effect you want.Try using Cool Edite Pro or a similar type multitrack program for the best results. If you leave them in WAV format you will be able to use crossfades and still be able to add a marker to seperate your songs.This way you can use your track selection on your CD player.I would recomend doing it this way.It takes up more CDs but hey......they're cheap!!!!
