    I was wondering if anyone knew the easiest way to remove 2 second gaps between songs on a cd? I was given a cd and all the songs have those irritating 2 second gaps between songs (it's a live show so it's even more noticeable). I don't have the original mp3's, if I did, I know how to burn a cd without the 2 second gaps. But does anyone know how to actually remove the 2 second gaps off of an already burned cd? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't know a way to change it on a burned CD - you can extract and concatenate the tracks into one large track using 'CDex' and burn a new disk.

    Someone told me to try ripping the cd as wavs to my hard drive and then burning with the gaps set to 0. I'll give that a shot.

    That should do it-rerip and burn again w/o 2 sec gaps MusicMatch can do it all.

    Hopefully it will. I tried ripping it to my computer as mp3 and burning without the 2 second gaps and it didn't work. I'll see what happens when I rip it as wavs and try it.

    You may have your burning program set to put the two second gap in there. Rip the songs separately and form up your play list. Make sure the cuts don't have the two seconds in the files because they will appear again. You might have to reauthor or edit the mp3 or WAV file to get the 2 secs off. Then compile your playlist and burn it in whatever program you use with no gaps.

    Edit: If you're real industrious you could rip it all as one WAV file and open your audio editing software and everywhere the songs end, cut out the silent parts. It's easy to see silence; the line is flat.
