    I use Nero 7 Ultra. I recently recieved a large amount of MP3 music. When I burn it, I use Nero Express. I click on the box to remove the two second gaps between tracks. It shows that they have been removed but when I play the disc, there is a 1 second gap still there. Anyone have any idea as to why and how to get rid of it? Thanks.

    It may be due to silence at the beginning/end of the files.
    Is there an option to remove the silence ?

    Not sure. Not too familiar with any of the more detailed aspects of Nero 7.There is one that says "no pause between tracks" which I click on to remove the gaps when burning flac and shn files.There is another that says " normalize all audio files which I never use.On burn settings I have clicked on "remove silence at the end of cda tracks".Other than that I don't see anything else.

    I would have thought that "remove silence" and "no pause"
    used together would have done it. Are you still getting gaps?

    Is it an album where the songs originally ran into each other ?

    Even with those two things I still get gaps. The downloads were the Live Trax collection by Dave Matthews. They were MP3's. I have copied the original cd's before and didn't have this problem.

    your best bet may be to use Goldwave(or something like it) an audio program that lets you edit audio. you can cut silence from tracks or combine several tracks together and save as one. very easy to use, it can also convert wave,mp3...etc. to whatever you'd like (different bit rates of mp3 also)

    MP3s are frame based, and if the music doesn't end on a frame boundary you're SOL unless you want to convert it to WAV first and trim the silence out. Sorry.
