How do I rip a CD, but have it play back without ga

Just dragged myself into the 2st Century and bought myself an mp3 player (the Zen 20gb - black).
I'm in the process of transferring my CD collection on to it, but have come across a problem with certain albums. There are some albums that I want to play back without gaps (e.g. Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'; Jeff Wayne's '...War of the Worlds' etc). Ideally I would still like to have the individual track names displayed, but to play without gaps - is this possible or am I expecting/wanting too much?

Have a look at the FAQ post in the MP3 player forum, specifically the link "gapless playback".
In short though all Creative players play with tiny gaps, so you can't achieve what you want to do. You'd have to rip the entire CD as one track.
The only player I'm aware of that has gapless playback is the now defunct Rio Karma.

    When you restore from a Time Machine back up you can pick and chose what is restored. It is not an all or nothing process. Nor do you have to do the partial restores all at the same time. If days after the first partial restore you find something else you want you can restore just that.

  • I sent iTunes to trash. I was able to recover the program but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there any way to put back from trash using the "select all" command?

    I sent iTues to trash by mistake (trying to delete files from "yesterday"). I got the program back but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there a way to put back multiple songs using the "select all" command or anything else? Thanks for the help.

    The prgram is in one location and the library (media + library files) are in another. Sending it all to the trash would take some pretty delibrate multiple actions and digging through multiple folders, so I don't know how this was managed unless there's something in Snow Leopard that's new. Occasionally I have moved a file to the trash in Finder that I didn't want to and I can use Finder's "undo" to undo the last move. With many files...?

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • How do I copy a layer but have the blending mode reset to normal?

    I'm going to try and word this as best as I possibly can lol. I edited a layer with a blending mode and want to copy the layer but have the layer's blending mode go back to normal so that I can edit it again with a different blending mode.
    Does anyone know how I could achieve this? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Here's the best way: make an action!: Open up your actions panel and create a new action- assign it to a key (f2)>> Make sure your layer is on any blending mode.>>Create a copy of the layer>> change blending mode to normal>> hit stop on action.
    Now you have your own action that will always copy whatever layer is selected and change the blending mode to normal!

  • Everytime i hit icon it wont start and sends report but have heard nothing back

    since yesterday when i click on firefox icon it will not start up, it displays crash reporter screen and says it will attempt to restart but when i hit restart it crashes again. when i hit quit firefox it sends report but ive heard nothing back. not sure if i need to download new copy or wait for response.

    Hearing back from the crash reporter is very, very, very rare, it isn't intended for direct user support. See about retrieving your most recent Crash Report ID's and we can take a look at those reports.
    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #On the keyboard, press [Windows] [[Image:Windows key]] + [R]. This should bring up a Run window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, type '''%APPDATA%''' and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!
    You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • I can watch my custom DVD in iDVD 7 preview but burnt dvd plays back black with only the audio

    I can watch my custom created DVD in iDVD 7 preview but once the disc is burnt and I play it back in DVD Player, the screen is black with only the audio playing back. I have tried using three different blank DVD manufactures.

    Hi
    Most probably depends on what movie codec You feed iDVD. May be You find any clue here.
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • I am new to magic iDVD.  I am using it for my home movies.  I have 25 short movies saved to a project and burned.  When I put it in the DVD player it makes me select a frame each time.  Is there a way to just have them play back to back automatically?

    When making a magic iDVD is there a way to get all of the movies that you save to the project to play back to back automatically?

  • HT4847 How do I get my full refund for the iCloud storage I bought yesterday, but have now switch back to the free 5GBs cause that's all I will ever need in that format

    There's got to be a bunch of us who thought we were buying  online storage we could use to store App's & movies ,tv shows. Well u can't so its been a day now I got 14 more to get a full refund. But that's the thing can't find out how to do that anywhere

    Very bad customer service - I have found that my underaged daughter has apparently ordered extra storage and never used it in her iPad. iPad iCloud settings does not have a downgrading option - BUT LUCKILY we also have an iPhone in the same account. iPhone iCloud settings has the possibility to switch to free 5Gb setting. Really Apple - a rip off way to treat the customer. Shame on you. The only other way apparently is to order a call when it suits Apple (not you). Because of the difficulty I will inform the consumer authorities in my country for this behaviour of the great product but ill service company called Apple.

  • How to connect Macbook to TV but have reverse picture?

    I'm not sure how clear my subject is, but basically here's what I want to do. I know how to connect my macbook to the TV and have my macbook screen show up on my TV screen. I want to reverse that, I want what's on my TV to show up on my mac screen so I can stream the picture on the web. Is this possible to do? What supplies am I looking at getting to be able to do this? I want to be able to broadcast what's on my TV through my mac, but I would also like to be able to work on my mac at the same time. I might be dreaming now right?

  • Switched to a clean install of WIndows 8 but syncing won't work, how do I log in so i have my data back?

    I decided to install a clean version of Windows 8 as a replacement for Win7. So when I looked at what i should save I decided to make a FireFox sync account to retrieve my data when FireFox was installed on my Notebook again.
    So today I installed FireFox again but I can't seem to log in, asking about codes a other device made...
    Why can't I just log in with my username and password?
    I still have the "Windows.old" file, can I do something with that since I suppose I lost all my old data because of that weird codes.
    9-r2b2e-xm7bd-pubvs-e5wfx-***** This is the code Sync is whining for but doesn't accept. not even when you change it. Can't find anything in my mail about it.
    Thanks a lot in forward.

    As an alternative to Sync, to find your old Firefox data, try this. Please note that I have not used Windows 8, so you let me know if this doesn't make any sense.
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show folder" button
    This should open your Firefox personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder in Windows Explorer (or equivalent).
    Navigate up one level to the Profiles folder. You may see more than one folder here, but with a new install, you probably only see one.
    In the address bar, insert '''Windows.old\''' into the path like so:
    C:\'''Windows.old\'''Users\''yourusername''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    If you used a different username on Windows 7, you'll need to edit that part as well. This should take you directly to your old Firefox profile folder(s). I suggest copying those out to a more accessible location.
    Your old profile folder(s) contain bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. You can migrate as much or as little of it as you want. There are some general articles on that (e.g., [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]), and of course many past threads.
    Any luck?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
