Getting an album to play without that little "dead air" pause in between tracks

I have a Zen Xtra. I've uploaded a bunch of cds. some of the albums, the songs overlap alittle from track to track. there is no "dead air" in between.
How do I get the Zen Xtra to play the album without that little "glitch" when going from track to track ?

Creative players do not support gapless playback or have a crossfading feature built into them. The only way you are going to get this is by making your album one long mp3 track but by doing this you will not be able to skip from song to song using your FF/RW buttons.
A Rockbox'ed iPod, Archos, iRi'ver or iAudio (www.rockbox.org) will do gapless and crossfading but you must load the Rockbox firmware onto these devices, bypassing the nati've firmware that came with the player (I know with iPod you can boot into Apple firmware by pressing a key during bootup ... I have a Rockbox'ed iPod 5G) ... but AFAIK, the Rio Karma was the only player that has nati've crossfading and gapless support (I have one and it rocks but sadly they are not made anymore as Rio no longer exists. Ebay is the way to get them but 99% of them are used/refurbished ... I got mine refurbished). So far, there is no Rockbox support for Creative players.Message Edited by mdscriber3 on 04-06-200605:09 PM

well...that's disappointing. if they are so "creative" they should "create" a player that does the gapless playback. nobody wants to hear those little gaps when they're listening to abbey road or whatever.. thumbs down !

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

How to select a whole album to play without selecting each track individually in iTunes 12.1.2 for Mac book pro OS 10.9.5

The only way that I am able to play a whole album is to select each track to play up next. This extremely tedious. There must be some way to select the whole album to play.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How do you get a movie to play without a menu

I've installed ilife 09 and it now says I'm using version 7.0.4 of IDVD. I've used version 6 for years, so much is new. However, I already created a fairly complex DVD in this version with my own background menu, buttoms, chapters, etc. That was in regular 4x3 format. It seemed pretty self-explanatory. I'm now trying to make a DVD that is 16x9 from a final cut pro file. I don't want any menu, just want the movie to play when it is inserted. I drag my movie to the "drag content here to play automatically" spot and I still get a menu. This should be pretty simple...right? What am I doing wrong?

Don't you see 'Old Themes' as a theme choice?
I prepared the procedure back in iDVD 6 days and I just noticed that how you do some of those things have changed in the latest version. With iDVD 7.x you now need to bring up the Menu Info window (the 'i' button at the bottom left). You need to also deselect the 'Show drop zones and associated graphics' box in that window.
Note that you don't have to put any text in the DVD name or movie name fields.
I'll try to update my procedure in the next couple of days.
The easiest thing to do is simply have your autostart movie loop.

Trying to get "old" dvd to play - app that created it requires classic os.

the subject line pretty much says it all - i have a dvd from 1997 and i'm trying to get it to play on either my g5 desktop or my macbook pro (both running 10.5.2). if it helps, the version of the application that used to launch the movie back in the classic days is listed "runtime 2.1.1" and there's a "media" folder on the dvd with a bunch of '.wav. files, a big file that ends in '.dbb' and two files with a suffix of 'in1' and 'in2' respectively.
when i try to open it i get a message saying that it needs classic and the environment is no longer supported. similarly, when i try to copy it by using a third-party app, i get a message saying 'source not found'.
any ideas?
thanks.

Wait do you use the drive designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
Hmm, Im surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba notebook.
Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD software player to play and watch HD-DVD on the notebook.
A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVDs.
By the way: I know one Toshiba model that was delivered with the HD_DVD drive.
It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD Model.
I found in the driver download section on the Toshiba site a new update of Nvidia GeForce Go7600 graphic card driver Version 8.3.2.7
But I dont know if its compatible with you card...

How can i get my albums to play in track order instead of alphabetical?

Ok heres the problem. I have got my music backed up an external harddive. Now if i look at album on my external and look at the songs they are all tagged with the track number, ie 01,02,03 etc for each album. When i drag an album into itunes the main library it copies the album from my external to itunes, it puts it in alphabetical order. I thought this is funny so i go to my music folder, itunes folder, itunes music folder, where musics kept and look in there. My albums in there but isn't tagged with the track numbers. For some reason when ive dragged my album from my external to itunes for some reason its got rid of the track numbers which is highly frustrating. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Many Thanks.

If you click on the column headings in iTunes it will sort the tracks by the column you have selected.
Try clicking on the Album column, this should then put the tracks in the right order. You probably have the Track column selected which will keep the tracks in alphabetical order by Track name.

Certain H.264/MP4 videos play without video on iPhone

I have a number of H.264 videos in MP4 containers that only show a black screen when played on the iPhone, while the audio is played back as expected.
Is there any way to get the video to play without having to re-encode all the videos? Below is some info about one of the files as reported by MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.massanti.com/).

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

I unplugged my iPod Classic without ejecting it first. It played for many hours after this but then it just stopped working and it has a blackened screen that seems to say paused. Wondering if there is a way to get it to work again.

Hey hughborg25,
I found an article that can help you troubleshoot when an iPod becomes unresponsive or the screen goes black:

I would go through all the steps listed there, and the issue should be resolved by the end.
