I know that this is gonna sound really anal, but's that's just the way I am. I recently noticed something odd whenever I use CD Copy on my Nero program. Here's the scenario: I noticed that when I checked my burned CDs after copying, the "countdown space" between songs is not showing on my player - the space is there, it just that it reads as part of the last song's timing. The original CD has the -0:02, -0:01 between each song, so I figured that this would copy onto the new CD. The timings of the original and the copy are exact, so I assumed that CD Copy, for some strange reason, inserts the silence as part of the preceding track (this could be just the way Nero copies). The weird thing is, if I test this out by saving a track from the original and then the same track from the copy (with silence removed), each track is the same length - so it still recognizes the silence and removes it, even though it doesn't register it when it plays. This is the same on every player that I've tried. CD copies that I've received from other people don't have this, so I've come to the conclusion that this must just be a quirk of Nero, as even CDs I copied five years ago with Nero on another computer have the same "problem." Someone mentioned that this might be because Nero and other consumer programs don't burn to the REDBOOK CD standard. On the other hand, when I burn compilations from individual files the track pauses do show up on the CD. I know that this is no big deal, but it strikes me as very strange... Has anyone else noticed this with Nero?
i use Nero a lot, but i've never used it's copy function, for copying data/audio cd's or for copying dvd's. i use clonecd myself for copying CD's. the only similar thing i use Nero for is to create audio cd's, ie for converting mp3 files to audio cd's - i do that a lot and for that Nero works perfectly. i've read about the problem you describe (a few times) but have never really paid too much attention due to not actually using Nero for that function.
The problem was that I didn't have "read audio data with sub-channels" checked in the CD Copy read options menu.
