Mind the Gap!

[IndieSinger]

When burning new CDs, I choose 'Disk-at-Once' to close the disk. But that always leaves a two-second gap between each track. Is there any way of creating a CD but without the gap between tracks?

The two methods are track-at-once and disc-at-once, the former of which will always insert a 2-second gap between tracks. The latter, which you're using, is the correct one to use, but you'll need to find the option in your CD-burning software to set the inter-track delay to 0 seconds. Usually, this is achieved by right-clicking on the track in question and pulling up it's properties...

Thanks lisaj, really good of you to get back to me and a fantastic suggestion, but it won't work. I think the problem here is my software (just a free Roxio 5 thing) because it says I can "try" to reduce the 2 second gap by recording on a different setting, but you can't actually reduce the gap anyway :(

Try and get hold of a copy of Nero / Nero Express. Just before you start the copy there is an option to remove gaps between tracks.

Fantastic, thanks a lot Kerplunk. I'll ask around for a copy, or download it from Kazaa Lite!
