mp3 splitting

[PlebHead]

right been trying to split an mp3 up into seperate files so i can skip tracks but still keep the flow of the mix, thing is everytime i burn the bloody disc and play it i have a tiny gap inbetween each track

ive tried splitting the mp3's using all sorts of proggies, cool edit pro, cool mp3 splitter etc

btw im using nero to burn the audio cd

any help/info/pointers would be great

yeah im doing all that jam mucka, i get all the tracks split no problem, its when i burn the disc it all goes pea shaped, i check the "no pause between tracks" box and set it to burn disc at once, but it still puts a teeeeny tiny gap in.




thanks for that thou mate

you will always get gaps with MP3 files even if you set the pause to 0 in Nero etc. You need to convert them all to wav. then burn them to CD, then you won't get the gaps

why the gaps occur and how to handle this

Hi PlebHead,

the problem is that if you split mp3 you'll split frames in most cases. then if you burn those splitted tracks on cd the burning tool converts them into wav format, which can't handle half frames. so the half frame must be restored, this means it gets filled up with silence. this is why the gaps occur.

so if you want to avoid those little gaps, just convert to wav first, then split into several tracks and burn with zero gap.

right, opened the mp3 in cool edit, set the markers where i wanted em, and then saved the selections as wave, burnt em with nero...................SORTED

all playing as it should do now........cheers guys much appreciated
