Roxio 9 or 10

[TOMMYZ]

Back when I was using Roxio 5 to burn compilations using the "disc at once" setting made it so there wasn't space between songs. I would compile a CD of live music and the music would would flow smoothly. In Roxio 9 or 10 it seems like it's hit or miss. Sometimes the music flows, other times there will be a little silence between the songs, which is irritating in live music compilations. Could someone tell me the proper settings so I don't have this problem. Thanks.

Nero does this best, I hear, though it still fails to be flawless.

Maybe one of these will help.

You can cut the silence at the end and beginning of a piece of music, then burn the tracks as data or mp3's but try it without the 'make music cd/dvd' option. Just burn it as is once you have them all edited and ready to burn.

Although you didn't say they are mp3's, I'm guessing.

If other, specify, I also hear wma is easier to work with for this type of operation.

Have you tried burning from iTunes? It lets you set the gap time in seconds or 0 for nonstop.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm working with WAV files.

Yes iTunes would be a good choice.

I've been seeing Foobar come up a lot one this subject as well.

It can burn gap-less wav files, they say.....

Problem I've had when trying gap-less is it ain't easy.

Sometimes the next song will start in the middle of one or a long pause remains.

But I'm not that much into gap-less burning.

And I have not tried itunes for that purpose, yet.

Found this for iTunes.

Should work with Windows as well since it's dealing with a program, not the OS.
