Hi, First time posting so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Is it possible to create a MP3 CD without having a pause between each track. Roxio gives me an option to record a WAV CD without pauses (disk-at-once) but I'd like to be able to do this with MP3 files. Is this possible? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, JD
You can import all of your .mp3 files into Acid 3.0 or 4.0 using a separate track for each song, then incorporating fades, effects, etc.. Unfortunately it won't let you burn in mp3 format but you can render it to .mp3 format and simply burn the cd in almost any CD writer by burning a data disk instead of audio. You kind of fake the program out. I'm sure there is an easier method but I'm too lazy to figure it out. mckenzis__X_X_X_X_X_[small]Steve[/small]
Hi. As far as I understand mckenzis' suggestion it means re-encoding which will decrease quality. __________________________ Your problem, LAguy is probably caused by at least 2 things: 1. Many mp3 hardware players (e.g. portables) always introduce gaps between tracks. Solution: 1.A. Merge the mp3s to 1 big mp3 using MP3DirectCut. This program processes mp3s directly without re-encoding -> no quality loss. You can als apply fadein/out and cut silence with it. 1.B. In case you own the CDs the mp3s were created from (and you want to keep the same order) you can encode a whole CD to 1 big mp3 file without gaps 1.C. In case you own the CDs the mp3s were created from and you want to create your own mix you can use a wave editor like Audacity (free) to create a big .wav file and encode it to 1 huge mp3 file. Drawback of A-C: The tracks can't be accessed individually anymore. 2. MP3 as a format isn't gapless. There are always some samples added in the beginning and in the end. Sollution: Use mp3DirecCut to trim as much silence as possible. Drawback: If your player introduces gaps, this won't help much.
