Jaide Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Can anyone recommend a CD burning programme that will burn mp3 songs to disc and leave no gaps between the tracks? I have used two programmes and have set them to 0 seconds between gaps but there's still a slight jump there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFishing Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Are you sure your mp3's don't already have a little silence at the begining and end of the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstar99 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Are you sure your mp3's don't already have a little silence at the begining and end of the track? +1. listen to them before you burn them. Usually already a gap there. You dont normally have one song running into another. I just used windows dvd burner last time. POwer DVD quite often. If you want them running into each other you will have to edit the tracks first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 The tracks are mixed by a DJ to be played continuously with track 1 running into track 2 and track 2 into track 3 etc. - there are no gaps at the front or end of each track if I play them individually.

Ira Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Use an audio editor to combine them into a single long mp3? And are you sure it isn't whatever you're using to play it adding a small pause as it loads the next MP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinox Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 If you played them normally on your pc right now all in 1 playlist, do they play with out gaps? you will probably have to use a program to merge all tracks into 1 large track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to do as you and Ira have suggested and try audio editor. I've never used one before so can you recommend a good one to use please?

Godly3vil Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 formatfactory is free and really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 formatfactory is free and really good. Thanks for that - I've used audio joined to make one file, my question is: when I burn this to disc - will it show as only one file or individual tracks on the disc menu? I would like to be able to skip tracks if I can so if it's only one file, that's no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstar99 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 it will be only one track now unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 it will be only one track now unfortunately. Then I'm back to square one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 It might just be the player adding the pause as it moves to the next track, have you tried the 'skipping' CD in a different player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtiskaw Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 What are you playing them on? My Cowon J3 has a setting to turn off the gap between songs, or even cross-fade them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 The problem is trying to burn the tracks to disc without any gaps. It seems that burning programmes with the burning process set to "0 seconds between gaps" still leaves a very slight jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueether Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I read it as burning mp3 to an audio CD format :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 You have tried replaying the resulting disc on multiple players right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaide Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't understand everyone's confusion :dunno: I have a free d/l of a music CD mixed by a DJ - each song is supposed to run into the next so there is no gap between songs. However, I'm only able to d/l one song at a time (which is how the site is set up) - so when I try to burn the songs to disc, even if I set the burning programme to put no gaps between songs, it still leaves a slight gap between tracks. It's irrelevant on what I play the CD on as it plays exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Jadie, some (more expensive) players are much better at not leaving a gap between tracks than cheaper CD players. If I remember correctly the is a gap in the audio CD standard between tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 My stereo doesn't leave a gap between tracks if I play a CD that's mixed (and burnt) by a DJ that isn't meant to have gaps in it - so I'm fairly sure it has to do with the burning process.

aotealotl Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 what does d/l mean or stand for ? I assume it is not a CD ? if it is a CD couldn't you just copy or clone the whole thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's an abbreviation for "download" and if I had the CD, I would just copy it - it would be so much easier! But unfortunately they set it up so I had to download one track at a time :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFishing Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have done this before with an old version of Nero that I actually paid money for way back when. The CD arrived on my doorstep from Germany. This was in the days way before broadband so I couldn't just download it. Sorry I'm not up with the play of what burning software is out there now though. But if they could do it all that time ago, can't be too hard for some more modern software to do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
