Free CD burning software that doesn't put a gap between tracks?

[Lysander]

I'm trying to get hold of one. I have Deep Burner but when I burn an Audio CD from mp3s it always puts a gap between songs, which is annoying when some tracks are supposed to run into each other. Is it possible to enable this on Deep Burner or is there another program that will let me do it?

Most Audio CD burners have a 'Crossfade' option.. if it does set it to '0' seconds.

Other than that I'm not too helpfull.

Having not done this in a while but I think you need to burn in DAO (disc at once) mode and most programs should allow you to remove the 2s (default) gap.
It might be worth trying to use EAC (exact audio copy) to burn also.

I know with Nero you can remove the gap - you have to do it for each track though which is a pain!

Edit: You can get Nero as a 30-day trial to test but it is a paid for app!

been a while but iirc itunes should be able to do it. Gapless playback and 0 second gap in options I think should do the trick - its free so worse case scenario is you waste a cd-r/rw

Thanks. Where is the gap remover in the program? I can't see it.

There isn't a gap remover. It just doesn't add one in the first place.

Oh perfect. By default? So I don't have to change any settings?

What would you recommend good CD burning speed for not too great a loss of quality. I normally use 8x for audio CDs. Would I lose a lot of quality at 16x?

 

[Dingleberry88]

As far as I know.

To be honest I only installed it a few days ago, but I've burned a few CDs that have played with no problems.

Seems to be quite a good program. Coupled with ImgBurn it looks like I can finally do away with Nero.

You need the foo_burninate.dll plugin (and I think a version of Nero installed, just the minimum)

Then create your playlist, right click -> burn to CD, and away it goes. Does CDtext and everything.

Even though is 'uses nero' (maybe the newer ones don't, ) I never get any of the probs that I get when I burn the CD using nero itself. Nero always gives me crackly / jumpy cds, Foobar works great.
