How do you eliminate pauses betweens songs?

Hello Group,
This is a question I have pondered for a while now....It seems that when I import my music to the ipod the importing process seems to add a second or two to the song. How can one eliminate that? And secondly, CD's like The Beatles - Abby Road, where one song blends into the next, how can I get that same effect from my ipod when I make a cd myself...there is always that annoying 1 or 2 second pause from cd's I burn from itunes?.
Thanks for your help.

Your question gets asked on a daily basis, and has been answered many times. If you search for 'gapless playback' you'll see how just how many people inquire about this.
In short... the iPod does not support gapless or crossfaded playback.
If you want to eliminate the gaps, one workaround is to join the individual tracks together, and play them as one single track. You can do this by reimporting the CD into iTunes using the 'Join CD Tracks' feature.
See Step 3 in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93079
If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include gapless playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

  • How can I eliminate stairsteps between samples in a graph?

    How can I eliminate stairsteps between samples in a graph? I am graphing the input from a fieldpoint AI-100 and I get stairsteps between samples. I'm using Labview 4.1

    Paul,
    It sounds like you are running into the situation where the resolution of the ADC converter is the source of the behavior you see. Your configuration may be set so that a voltage change is not seen between samples, generating multiple points with the same value. If this is the case, the graph you see is correct. It is displaying the points it receives from the FP-AI-100. You can verify this by displaying the graph data in an array, and seeing if some of the adjacent samples show the same value.
    If this is the case, see if you can match the signal range to that of the ADC to take advantage of the resolution available. For example, if you set the range to be 0 to 30 volts, the smallest detectable voltage change would be 7.3 mV (range/gain*2^resolution) bec
    ause the FP-AI-100 has a resolution of 12-bit. You can read up on issues with range and resolution by doing a search on http://www.ni.com using the keywords "range" and "resolution".
    Otherwise you may be able to compensate for this behavior in software, such as running an averaging routine or applying a mathematical formula to the data points.
    Hope this helps!

  • Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

    In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

    First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
    Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??

    How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??
    Yes this might be the stupidest question ever, but leave it to Apple to make the simplest thing hard.
    In EVERY version of Itunes, up until 11, you used to be able to type an artists name, song name, or album into the search field and it would narrow it down so that you can see what you are looking for (in the list below).  Now, Itunes tells you that you have music by said artist, yet doesn't list them whatsoever. Furthermore, when you click on the results it doesn't list them for you either.
    I'm sure it is some weird setting, but cannot for the life of me find.  I cannot name one application that doesn't show a list when you type in the search field.  Augh!
    Please help.

  • How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't have a delete option when swiping?  This was a freebie when I first purchased my pad

    How do you delete a purchased song that doesn't give you the delete option when swiping?  This was a free song when I first got my pad. Now I can't delete it. I only get the play option, or to download it again.  The song is "Twinkling Lights", I think that's right.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think it is in the cloud, so how do I delete it?  Also, I have IOS 7.1.1

    How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?

    How do you eliminate older backup copies from a older model of time capsule?
    You shouldn't have to.  Time Machine will delete them automatically when it needs room for new ones.  If you're running Leopard, though, and have the Warn when old backups are deleted box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, it won't.  Just remove the check and run a backup.
    If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, that's going to cause trouble sooner or later.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for some possible workarounds.
    If you still want to delete individual backups, or all backups of selected items, do not use the Finder.  See #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and note the pink box there.
