question: cd buring software

[mogul]

I've been having some trouble with burning cds lately, and I was hoping that I might be able to find some help here...

I can't seem to find the right software for burning the "uncle beat" music that comes in my snail-mail box. I have a PC with Windows Media Player 9, but as far as burning, I get an annoying 2 second pause between tracks (very annoying on live material) . I also used old Nero software, but it makes the burned CD sound like it's skipping when I play it in my CD player.

Does anyone have any recomendations for affordable, user-friendly, PC- based burning software for my computer(I have windows xp)

I thought I would post this question before I go out and blow $50 on software that doesn't meet my expectations.

Thanks!

It is a common problem and is partly due to the way mp3s work.  The easiest cure, if you have access to the original recording, is to make the whole album one huge mp3 rather than individual tracks.

Working with vined CDs you could try MPTrim or Feurio both of which I have seen recommended elsewhere but, not being a Windows user, I know nothing about.

Apple's free iTunes has an option for selecting the length of the gap (from 2 seconds to None) in the Burning preferences.

Mogul,
I use Windows Media Player nine and XP. I solved this annoying gap thing by downloading 'Nero fast burning plug in'.

Just google it - dead simple. Removes the gap.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replys. I'm now burning CDs like there's no tomarrow

I would like to mention a program I found called BurnAtOnce. It works great on my computer. There's no gap between songs, and it's pretty user- friendly. Another feature I especially like is its ability to burn .flac files directley to CD (without converting to .wav first).
