I have a question.
I used the program Mixmeister to mix some traxx for a cd, and then i encoded from wav to mp3 using real jukebox.
Finally i used my burner and ripped the cd using the disc at once option to not have gaps between songs. But when i listened to the cd, the songs still had like half a second gaps between them.
A friend of mine also mixed some tracks, but used a different program to mix and a different program to encode.
But he used my burner, and the cd came out without the gaps.
I want to know what my problem is? Is it the burner, encoder(Real Jukebox), or is it my mixing program?

A lot of people talk about that issue...some say its a matter of the software u r using, I heard many people saying that CDRWIN is a burning program that wont let u hear those gaps.
Hopefully this helped ya.

I have had that problem also, I first noticed it when I downloaded mixed compilations and then later made it into wav and then burned them, so I ripped a mixed CD that I had in to mp3 and then made it to wav again and the same thing acourd. So my guess is that the gap acour when you rip or make it a wav again. I have also tried diffrent programs to rip.
Now when I wanna have a CD I make the compilation a wav and then I use a wav editor to take away the gap so I won´t get that irritating silence for half a second.

The gaps occur when you split the file. Do not do this. You should use CDRWin to burn the CD using a cue file to mark the points where the track breaks should be. CDRWin will burn straight from either mp3 or wav, so there is no need to encode/decode first.

i think it's cause wave (or mp3 files, not sure) need a few frames to "warm up".
well, not really sure but this could be the reason...
btw, what do you peepz use for encoding?
I use LAME with HQ VBR and I think my music sounds great. But is there anything out there that's better? With VBR support?...
well i don't want to offend ya but AudioCatalyst sux... the Xing Encoder is fast but the quality is poor... and you don't have full control...
Personally, i use PlexTools for ripping (VERY fast) and RazorLame (LAME 3.88) for encoding. My quality settings are a bit above the recommended settings, and the file size is a bit larger, but who cares... the quality rules!
I used AudioCatalyst too at first, so just give LAME a try, like I did.
