Hi guys, i've always used Nero to burn my back up copies of CD's, but one prob i have with it is it always leaves a gap between songs when burning a mix album and i cant figure out how to make it leave no gap.

I've checked the box that says 'no pause between tracks'.... that doesnt work, i've gone into the properties of each track and changed the pause to zero..... no joy either

So, is there a program out there that can burn a CD without leaving a gap between tracks?

Thanks for any help

 

I think you will need to "Mix" the audio tracks mate an run them as one complete track. Nero will add them as seperate tracks and won't allow a continuation afaik.

 

That wouldn't let me flick through the tracks on the CD though mate would it? It would just play the whole album as one track?

 

you can alter the size of the gap in nero... just change it to be 0 seconds and you will have individual tracks but they will play as one complete one like you want them to.

How to get rid of those 2 seconds gap between audio tracks?

Against the often expressed opinion many (but not all) CD recorders are able to burn audio tracks without the 2 seconds gap between the tracks. It's also untrue, that „disc at once" burning means, that a gap of zero seconds is written. The „disc at once" burn method just gives you the freedom to choose a gap length of your choice. Generally it's best to burn audio CDs using the „disc at once" method.
To modify the gap between audio tracks just double click a track in a Nero audio compilation. A dialog will pop up, which allows you to enter a pause length of your choice. If you would like to change gaps of several tracks, then select these tracks and choose the menu command Edit->Properties and enter the desired gap length. Note please, that the gap before the first track must be between 2 and 3 seconds with respect to the rainbow book definitions. It wouldn't make much sense to change this gap anyway, because nobody would be able to hear the difference.

Once you entered the gaps of your choice click on burn and leave the „disc at once" option checked (if your recorder supports DAO). If your recorder doesn't support DAO or variable gaps in TAO, then you will see a warning, telling you, that some of your gap settings couldn't be applied. In this case your recorder is unable to write the CD, that you want. The only thing you can do in this case is to carefully select your next CD recorder and make sure, that it's capable of DAO writing. Sorry.

 

"That wouldn't let me flick through the tracks on the CD though mate would it? It would just play the whole album as one track?"

Sorry for trying to help!! You said yourself Nero won't do it as you've tried! Maybe some "Mix" software can select cuts to make it into tracks. Why not search some on Google and see what comes up?

 

Thanks Red, but i tried that already and it still burns with gaps

My burner supports DAO so dunno why it wont do this?

 

Easy mate, i was just asking if it wouldn't let me flick through the tracks!

Im not 'up' on software so thats why im asking for help.

 

"CD though mate would it"

Sorry mate, may of taken that the wrong way! Just seemed I offered a bit of help and it (To me) came across as "I just said I wanted it as tracks" and not open to suggestions. So apologies if I took it wrong!

I'm not very good at PC's either Try searching Google for "MP3 Mixing tracks" or something and see what is brought up. Im sure decent mixing software would be able to do as you want! Nero (IMO) is for ripping and burning, not much more (Or I don't know how to do it )

 

No worries mate, sorry if it came across as off

 

roxio awesome and very easy to use

 

Thanks mate

 

nero is about 200gb install now isnt it

google 'cdburnerxp' will do everything u want it to, and very small as well!

 

Nice one Stu, cheers fella
