Gap between selections

I've noticed that there's a small, but noticeable, interruption in the flow of music between selections (or bands, or songs, or whatever the correct terminology is) when I load music onto my iPod mini.
In a symphony, for instance, one movement may be broken into a few parts on the original CD. The parts play seamlessly on my regular CD player, and they alsom play seamlessly when I play the CD on my computer. But when I import them to my iPod (even at a higher-quality setting), there's a hiccup for a fraction of a second between parts. I haven't added any extra time between selections and wouldn't know how to even if I wanted to.
This hiccup is rather jarring to listen to.
is such a break part of iPod's structure, part of iTunes? Does anyone know how to overcome this -- such as being able to fuse two selections together so they become one selection?

This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the “join cd tracks” option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the “now playing” screen . You’ll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

  • I am having trouble burning a gapless album that is a mixed compilation. I have selected part of compilation album on the options tab and I did select gap between songs as zero. When I play the cd, it is sticking between songs? Please help!

    Thanks Chris but according to Pioneer, is was possible with the itunes in 2010.
    It wasn't. (at least as far as setting Part of Gapless album goes. See next para.)
    They claim that itunes will work if you select gapless album, part of a compilation
    Selecting Gapless album does not make it gapless. (which is likely that now this option is removed - to not confuse people)
    The ONLY thing that option did was tell iTunes to NOT crossfade consecutive songs from same gapless album IF you had crossfade enabled.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1797
    Setting the gap to 0 is what made it "seem" gapless.
    Perhaps it is not working as it used to.
    Try a slower burn speed.
    and used itunes to convert them to mp3
    Dont know why they suggest this.
    Simply use the WAV file. Then there will be no loss (as there is when converted to MP3).

  • Classical music on iTunes: lack of proper gaps between movements

    I have the latest generation iPod and am using the latest version of iTunes. I purchase primarily classical music on iTunes and am quite annoyed that the gaps between movements (or "tunes" of an "album") are not reproduced properly the way they are on any CD, including of course the original recordings that the digital tunes derive from. Specifically, one movement runs into the next with little or no silence in between. (I am not talking about crossfade, which I disabled.) I submitted a complaint to iTunes but got no human response, just a free "tune."
    Does anyone know of this problem being addressed by the iTunes Store? Alternatively, does anyone know an easy way to add a few seconds of silence to the end of selected tunes?
    Many thanks in advance for any help!

    I don't know of any scripts that will do that or a program that will do that for you. But if you click on the composer and then hit Cmd i. You can mass change all of the information by that composer. You can do the same thing with Album and Genre.

  • How do I remove a gap between table rows in InDesign?

    I need help in figuring out how to remove gaps between table rows.  I have tried Table Spacing under Table Set-up, but it doesn't work.
    Here's what I'm working on:
    As you can see there are gaps above the first row and below last row under the header Business Management Technology.  I cannot select that gap.  How do I remove it, so that the first class, 31058, is flush with the black header?  (and the last class, 32675, is flush with the Chemistry header?)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    ...it may be that the black bar is created with a paragraph rule instead of cell color.
    I hadn't considered that, and your example is proof-of-concept. However, now that you made me look closer, I still don't think that's the OP's case, seeing as the text in the OP's header rows appears to span more than one column, belying what I suppose must be merged cells.* The column strokes in the "gap" appear to disqualify it (the gap) as part of a row with merged cells.
    *There is still another possibility that someone "made pictures" of tables with merged cells by overlaying text frames to make the header rows. I've run across all kinds of such "carpentry;" especially when the file may have originated at the desk of someone who avoids or resists use of tables. They find ways to fake them and/or their features.

  • Remove gaps between objects in Illustrator

    Hello. I have made a document with some objects in illustrator. The problem is that there is a white gap between the objects.
    I have tried all the advices here on adobe forums and google, but nothing works.
    I have uploaded the files to my website, so that you could give it a try if you want to help.
    the files you can find here:
    http://www.kasperstaal.dk/example.ai
    http://www.kasperstaal.dk/example1.ai
    - the one file is a CC file and the other one is CS6...
    How can i fix this?
    Thank you very much in advance..

    For the web try and export is as PSD/TIF/whatever and check the antialiasing option "Art optimized"
    When printing this shouldn't matter. It doesn't in offset printing, but might matter in other rare cases. Occasionally people pop up in this forum ...
    But since you won't be in control of selecting the service bureau and printing process, you might try and create shapes below the actual object that share the same color and hide the gaps.

  • Is there a way to insert a specific gap between clips? (CS4)

    I am trying to insert a 3 second gap in between about 15 clips on a timeline. I could do it manually, but it is sort of a pain. How can I insert a standard gap between clips?

    I know of no semi-automatic way to do this--it's going to be some degree of manual work, whichever way you slice it. But this might help make it a little faster:
    Drop all of your clips, end to end, in your sequence.
    Switch to the Track Select tool; I believe the default shortcut is "A", but I might have changed that.
    With the Track Select tool active, click on the second clip in your sequence to select it and all clips after it.
    Using the numeric keypad on your keyboard, type in "+300" for three seconds, or whatever time duration you need, and hit the Enter key on the keypad. All of the selected clips will be moved forward in time three seconds. This will leave a gap of three seconds between the first clip and the group of following clips.
    Go back to step #3 and repeat this as often as necessary to create the gaps. You should be able to mow through them pretty quickly in this fashion.

  • CS5 Multiple page sizes leaves a gap between pages on a spread

    I'm laying out a 6pp DL leaflet.
    I've set up page 1 as 97mm wide, pages 2 & 3 as 100mm wide. This is the usual way to set up a 6pp DL, only before CS 5 you would have to do it the long way round.
    Only it seems when you have different page sizes in a spread it leaves a gap between the pages when there is an alternative page size, rather than butting the pages together.
    How can I get rid of the gap between pages in order to print it as spreads?

    M Blackburn wrote:
    I just completed a job that has six pages of varying widths in one spread. Trying to drag the pages into place just doesn't work. You have to use the Control Panel. Select the pages (with the Page Tool) and make sure the X co-ordinate for the top left matches the width of the adjacent page. After two pages, you have to do the math, or move your rulers to the next page.
    I don't know what you were doing, but Steve's method works perfectly for me. As long as shuffling is disallowed on a spread the pages will not separate. In fact, I've not found a way to create a gap between pages that are joined as a spread, even two page spreads for which shuffling is allowed, so perhaps I don't understand the question at all.

  • Gaps between purchased iTUNES tracks

    I have seen some discussion on making a CD one track to eliminate the gaps between tracks in the iPOD. However, I have purchased several classical music pieces-such as the Rachmaninov Variations on Pagannini--well each variation is a track-which is not a problem listening on iTUNES. However, when listening on iPOD mini, there are noticable gaps between the tracks which in this type of piece there should not be. ANy thoughts on eliminating the gaps in iTUNES Store purchased music???

    The reason that iTUNES plays the tracks continuously is due to one of the settings. (Crossfade). You can select the time delay between tracks and also have them overlap slightly (by a fraction of a second). Consequently it will play continuous tracks without the pause. The iPOD can't do this and so as far as I know you'll have to put up with the milisecond pause.
    Unless you burn the tracks onto a CD and re-rip as a single track.....but it kind of defeats the object of purchasing from iTUNES and syncing to the iPOD immediately.

  • Gaps between songs

    Hi,
    During playback my iPod and iTunes are forcing gaps between songs.
    In iTunes I have selected "no gaps" in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Burning, and, as suggested in the FAQs/forums, I have selected "Crossfade Playback" in Edit>Preferences>Playback and set it to 0 seconds.
    Even after this, my iPod still forces gaps between songs, and iTunes actually seems to be slightly overlapping songs.
    This may seem anal, but I just want to listen to mix CDs as they were intended to sound on my iPod!
    Any ideas?
    PC   Windows XP  

    Hi kshaws21,
    Have you tried going to Edit>Preferences>Playback? Here you can set "Crossfade Playback" to 0 seconds (although this will still give you a fraction of a second crossfade) or you can deselect it altogether and you'll have gaps between your songs.
    Everyone else,
    I
    refuse to believe that iPods don't support gapless playback. What, Apple have never heard of the mix CD?
    Any more ideas?
    Cheers

  • Problem: Gap between objects

    I've made a logo for a company. I have som issues with gaps between objects. I've googled and tried
    several soloutions without any luck. How can I merge the two objects together and still maintain the two
    colors? I've recorded a video so you can see the problem by yourself and hopefully help me.
    Thanks in advance!

    DigiEyeZ,
    It just occurred to me (rereading about the change in gradient angles and seeing the video) that you may be haunted by the Align to Pixel Grid ghost.
    If you go back to the original divided shapes, select all of them, and then look at the Transform palette, is Align to Pixel Grid ticked?
    If it is, untick it, and also untick the option Align New Objects to Pixel Grid.
    Then retry the different solutions. You may also see what happens with the original divided shapes.
    You may also consider adjusting the positions and sizes of the shapes to fit the pixel grid, of course.

  • Horizontal 'gap' between two level tabs SOLVED

    I’ve got a stange problem:
    I’ve got several pages and a two level tabs. Everything worked before a collegue of mine switched the theme into a self created one. Now the design of the two level tabs depends on what page you are on. Sometimes there is a ‘gap’ between the parent tabs and the horizontal bar and the tabs below that bar.
    On some pages this gap is small and it looks like it should:

    But sometimes there is a lot of space above and below that bar:

    Can anyone help me? Please!!!

    Hi Carl,
    thanks for your answer!
    I also thougt it coud be an issue with the CSS and I've searched the whole CSS-Stylesheet. In the part of the Tab Classes I searched for every margin-top and margin-bottom and set it to 0px but it had no effect.
    Here you can see the part of my CSS-Stylesheet containing the attributes of the tabs:
    /* Tab Classes */
    /* .t4Tabs{text-align:center;padding:10px 0 2px 0;} */
    .t4Tabs{text-align:right;padding:10px 0 2px 0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;}
    .t4standardtabcurrent{vertical-align:middle;padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;margin 0px 3px 0px 3px;background-color:#CCCCCC;color:#111111;border:2px solid #111111;border-bottom:0;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;}
    .t4standardtab{vertical-align:middle;padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;background-color:#777777;color:#ffffff;margin:0px 3px 0px 3px;border:2px solid #111111;border-bottom:0;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;}
    .t4standardtab:hover{background-color:#CCCCCC;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
    .t4ChildTabs{text-align:center;background-color:#FFFFFF;padding-bottom:4px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}
    .t4childtabcurrent{margin-left:3px;margin-right:3px;font-weight:bold;background-color:#DDDDDD;padding:2px;border:2px solid #000000;border-top:none;text-decoration:none;}
    .t4childtab{margin-left:3px;margin-right:3px;padding:2px;border:2px solid #000000;border-top:none;text-decoration:none;font-weight:bold;}
    But the strange is that this horizontal space is not equal on every page. On some pages it is quite small and like I want it to be and when I select the tab "Reports" for example there is a huge gap.
    When I change the margin in the CSS-Stylesheet shouldn't it be for all pages? Shouldn't the margin be the same whatever page I am on?
