Vaderbait1 1 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know how to burn a CD that flows seamlessly from track to track (akin to X-Men 3 or The Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition) using Windows Media Player or Sonic RecordNow? Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Well, I use Nero 6 Express to burn CDs, and I make sure to check the box labelled "No pause between tracks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 With windows media player you just have to add each track individually and edit out/segue in any silences in the music. Thats the easier answer.If you want it to sound fairly pro you have to take your time getting it just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,253 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Basically, you have to used "disc at once" mode, and specify no pause between tracks. How you do this depends on the program, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtron 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 If you extract the files to your hardrive using something like DBPoweramp or whatever WAV or MP3 extractor you like- then you can merge them into one giant file using a FREE program called MediaJoin 2.0. The link to the MediaJoin is here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/396569. All the files will be joined together with no space and you can just burn the one large file to your blank CD. I have done this several times because there is some limitation of 99 files allowed on one CD and so I get around that by merging them with this tool. Good luck.

Trent B 337 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well, I use Nero 6 Express to burn CDs, and I make sure to check the box labelled "No pause between tracks."I use this program to. Though I did a 5 finger discount (downloaded it that had a CD code key from Limewire). It's been the best CD burning program I've used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Use iTunes. You can change the settings in Burning section in under "advance" tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Use iTunes. You can change the settings in Burning section in under "advance" tab.Even with 'Pause between tracks' set to 0, there is still a split second gap between tracks when playing the files on iTunes itself. At least on the PC version there is. No idea about the burning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Use Crossfade playback in playback then..but I don't think that will effect the burning on CD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 no crossfading isnt quite the same as having a real pauseless gap. i dont like it too. i guess i'll just live with the splitsecond gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,810 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Sometimes the files may have been ripped wrong, it happens sometimes with these tracks that have no silence end.If you have the original CD make an CD copy, not an audio cd.If you are assembling you copy of TPM ultimate version, i suggest you to merge the smaller files into the larger one they are part of (UE tracklist, bold title refers to the name of severl non bold titles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanand 0 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 And use Audacity to do it - it is free, awesome and never crashes or craps up on you.http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaderbait1 1 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well, see, I was merging, but a 16 minute track with all the good stuff at the end is kind of inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I did some reading around and it seems that these split second gaps are an inherent property to the mp3 format. I have however figured out how to get iTunes to playback files seamlessly. The Crossfade option has to be turned on and then set to 0. grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Burning a CD with no gaps between the tracks?in itunes changing the burning setting for seconds between tracks to 0 should work right? has anyone try using iTunes setting the second to 0 seconds between tracks?

I've said it before, a split second gap (about half a second) will still remain. AACs, ogg and FLAC should be fine I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP3s are just WAVs encoding using lossy compression. When you decode them, you get standard PCM data. If the program can't play two MP3s without gaps, it's either the program's or the codec's fault.

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well in any case I have been unsuccessful in burning a CD from mp3s which flows perfectly seamlessly. Have tried iTunes and Nero 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,253 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Perhaps the MP3s are faulty? You could transform them into wavs and rip any full silence at the start and end of the files. Then burn them without gaps using "disc at once" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I dunno, I tried opening the mp3 in an audio editor and there isnt any silence at the end of the tracks. Maybe I'll try out ripping my BeeGees One Night Only disc later to mp3 and then burning that to CD-R. I doubt it will work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,253 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 If the decoded file doesn't have silence, then either your burning settings or your burning software are the problem. Or your burner, if there are any burners that can't burn gap-less audio?8O The Battle of Britain - Suite (William Walton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
