Against the often expressed opinion many (but not all) CD recorders are able to burn audio tracks without the 2 seconds gap between the tracks. It's also untrue, that „disc at once" burning means, that a gap of zero seconds is written. The „disc at once" burn method just gives you the freedom to choose a gap length of your choice. Generally it's best to burn audio CDs using the „disc at once" method.
To modify the gap between audio tracks just double click a track in a Nero audio compilation. A dialog will pop up, which allows you to enter a pause length of your choice. If you would like to change gaps of several tracks, then select these tracks and choose the menu command Edit->Properties and enter the desired gap length. Note please, that the gap before the first track must be between 2 and 3 seconds with respect to the rainbow book definitions. It wouldn't make much sense to change this gap anyway, because nobody would be able to hear the difference.

Once you entered the gaps of your choice click on burn and leave the „disc at once" option checked (if your recorder supports DAO). If your recorder doesn't support DAO or variable gaps in TAO, then you will see a warning, telling you, that some of your gap settings couldn't be applied. In this case your recorder is unable to write the CD, that you want. The only thing you can do in this case is to carefully select your next CD recorder and make sure, that it's capable of DAO writing. Sorry.

No its defintely not my cd-recorder, its the program itself. I no this because i used to work with a program called Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum, and this allowed me to burn cds without that annoying gap at the beginning.

Maybe u could help me with another aspect of nero instead. See the problem im having, is that i want to load a live set into Nero, split it up into tracks, and then burn it, thus having a live set split into tracks on a music cd. But it seems i have no choice but to have a 2 second gap between the very first and second track.

So is it possible in nero, too load up a live set, split the tracks, and then save the tracks that have been split as brand new mp3s? By doing this, i could take the mp3s i have created using nero, load them into easy cd creator 5 and burn them to cd using that program.

So in short, can i split an mp3 into seperate tracks using nero, and save them as new mp3s onto my harddrive...?

Thanks for helping btw, really do appreciate your help

Mikey

I dont know who to do this in nero, but for buring live sets to cd i use CDRWIN, you can get a trial version that will only write at 1X, just do a search for it in yahoo or something

yeah just highlight the tracks (all or however many you want) except the first one (coz you cant have a less then 2 sec pause for the first track) and right click go properties and theres an option there

You can't use the first two seconds for Nero, since it uses that to encode and tag the CD. That's why when you do try it, it gives you a prompt stating this.

Most CDs take the first one or two seconds for data.

ahh crap.

I guess theres really noway around it really. For those interested there is something u can do.

Hit record using a program u can record with and leave it for a fraction of a second. Save it, and the convert it to an mp3. Call it Track 1 or dummy track or whateva, and then just insert this mp3 at the beginning. So officially ur cd will start at track 2, and there is no pause anywhere within ur set. This i believe is the only way around it.
