That's what I want to know too. I have been trying to find a way to burn a mixed cd with split tracks and no pause in between the tracks (like a mixed cd you would buy).

Consider this, 92% of the worlds population feel that their lives could be better, what about you? If you could do anything, anything at all... what would you do? What are you doing now? Imagine that you could live your life knowing it could not be better and never feeling that you would rather be doing something else, be somewhere else, or be someone else. Now consider this, some people actually live that way and so could you. Contemplate this, what if 90% of the problems you encountered in your life were mere illusion and only existed in your mind? In your everyday life whenever something annoys you, stresses you, makes you mad or makes you sad, consider if that something really matters. Will you even remember how you felt in 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, or what about in 10 years? So when the people you work for pressure you and fail to understand you does it really matter? And when they call you on the phone screaming and yelling does it matter? And should you really allow that to influence your life? It's all about choices.

Then I think you should just not write the second index between tracks like the second example.

exactly. Ygrene's cue has pauses between the tracks, mine doesn't.



and there's a good cue file tutorial in the FAQ forum and cue files were discussed here in dj booth just a couple of days ago too, so search and you shall find more info!

Originally posted by goonerjack This is a great thread on cue files, but the information is a bit all over the place so I thought I’d sum it up in a definitive guide. In basic terms, a cue file splits up a liveset (or any other long piece of music) into smaller segments. This means that, although the music will still play continually, you can skip to a certain song and the name of the song currently playing will show, if the equipment is CD text compatible. A cue file can be created in notepad and it has to be made to be explicitly correct, as computers can’t interpret any possible mistakes. I’ll give an example of a cue file and explain it beneath. PERFORMER "Mixed by DJ Nonsdrome" TITLE "Trance Night Vol. 8" FILE "c:\music\Trance Night Vol. 8 - Mixed by DJ Nonsdrome.mp3" MP3 TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "01 - DJ Shog - Another World (Instrumental Club Remix)" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "02 - Magic Wave & MVL - Did You Hear Me (Marc Van Linden Remix)" INDEX 00 05:47:74 INDEX 01 05:49:74 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "03 - Alex Bartlett - Amnesia (Steve Murano Remix)" INDEX 00 11:05:16 INDEX 01 11:07:16 TRACK 04 AUDIO TITLE "04 - Dave 202 & Phil Green feat. Savier - Moments of Silence" INDEX 00 14:01:47 INDEX 01 14:03:47 TRACK 05 AUDIO TITLE "05 - Mind One feat. Rena - Star For Me (Instrumental Remix)" INDEX 00 18:52:18 INDEX 01 18:54:18 TRACK 06 AUDIO TITLE "06 - Orion's Voice - The Next Life (Origin Unknown Remix)" INDEX 00 23:39:55 INDEX 01 23:41:55 The first three lines are pretty self explanatory, fill in the performer and title inbetween the quote marks on the appropriate line. As for the file, just put in the full directory of the file. To check it is the full directory, copy it and paste in to Start, Run and click OK. If it’s right, the file will open. Also, after the quote mark you need a space and then what type of file it is. In the above example it is a .mp3 file so you should write MP3. If it was a .wav file you write WAVE (note the ‘e’ on the end). The file name of the cue sheet and the file name of the music file all have to match or you will get a line 3 error message. Where it says TITLE by the files, in between the quotes put the name of the track that you want to show up on a computer, or any device that supports this. Now for the INDEX part – this is how the computer knows where to split up the tracks. The numbers go like this – minutes:seconds:frame. The frame is a slice of a second – there are 80 of them in a second. You could leave the frame at 00, but the track number would change at the start of the second, not on the beat (unless you’re lucky!). You can use a program to find exactly which frame the track changes, but I won’t go into that here. Instead, if you count and think it’s about half a second in, put 40. A quarter of the way in, 20 etc. As you’ve noticed, there are two INDEX numbers, 00 and 01. INDEX 00 is two seconds before INDEX 01 (which is where the track changes). This allows the CD player to continually play while changing tracks. Do this for all of the tracks and just save the notepad file (it will be a .txt file). One final thing to note here – the name of the cue file must be the same as the name of the music file. If you can’t be bothered to create your own cue file then the biggest resource I know of is: http://www.regeert.nl/cuesheet/ Now to explain how to put these cue files on to a disc... The program that I’m using is CDRWin, you could also use Nero or as well as a number of other programs. Note – Adaptec Easy CD creator doesn’t support cue files. The version of CDRWin is a trial version so you can only burn at 1x speed. This isn’t too bad (about 13 mins to burn a 70 minute CD) but you can ‘obtain’ a serial number to make it function as normal if you look around. It’s really simple in CDRWin, all you need to do is locate the file you want to burn, locate the appropriate cue sheet and click record disk. Hopefully that’s everything, anything that you think I’ve missed/should add, just reply and I’ll edit it. Jack.

p.s. - no pauses on my cd's

But it looks like it can work either way.
