If i burn a CD as 'Track At Once' with Nero, will it stop all the 2 second gaos, ie play continuously on my stereo, but also allow me to skip tracks of i want to, or will it be one long 74 min track?


Cheers.

You can get rid of the gaps:

Highlight all tracks
Right-Click => Properties
Change Pause length to "0"
Press "Apply"
Press "Ok"

Should do, but then again, have never tried it. I would guess it depends on the player as well

You definately need "disk at Once" mode to stop these gaps , but yes, you will need to set the track pause length to 0 as well (see above).... the first track always has 2 seconds in front as this is part of the CD format (it used to take old D/A convertors on the earliest cd players a bit of time to open up , so 2 seconds was set as the standard time).....

The gaps You're hearing are caused by the PQ codes (effectively a kind of timecode) on the disc going awry inbetween tracks.... the only way you'll get rid of that completely is to use software that will generate a full 'red book' cd.... most burning software will only generate 'Orange Book' and as such cannot guarantee 100% continuous PQ's... I'm Mac so have no idea if Nero can do Red book...

The reason it's called PQ is there are a whole load of extra bits written on each frame of a cd, some flags, some code like this, some still unused - as there are 26, they gave them the letters of the alphabet, and the P + Q bits contain this vital timing info ( I will now endeavour to go out more, I promise)
