Long Audio Pause Between Tracks. Can that be chang

I get a three second pause of silence between all my audio tracks. For the life of me, I can't seem to find a way to get rid of the pauses. Any idea? Thanks! BillMessage Edited by bsherck on 03-05-200704:2 PM

What is your player? My Zen Micro will take ~3 seconds to change if I manually do it, but if I wait until it changes itself, it seems to pre-load the next song and changes instantly at the end of a song.
Maybe you need to Clean-up or reformat, also?

  • Why is the ipod insisting on pausing between tracks?

    My ipod 30g is pausing between tracks and there is no apparent way of altering that. This is a serious unresolved problem with the ipod which I feel needs to be discussed until Apple either recalls it or resolves the issue.
    I did a search for this topic and I found that the few discussions that existed did not get the airing they deserved before they were archived.
    If I didn't know Apple better I would think this is a cover-up. I called tech support and after I assured them that the itunes cd preference was set to no pause they had no answer but to re-install the software which would involve erasing all my content. And you know I got the "I haven't heard of this problem yet.." cliche tech response to de-emphasize a gaping disfunction.
    Yes I'm keeping my ipod but they should not have released it for market with this audio anomaly. And yes I will merge all my tracks in itunes because that pause can ruin and entire CD if there is continuous sound.
    Does anyone know if Apple is at least considering rectifying this flaw?

    The iPod has never supported gapless playback.
    You can suggest Apple add this feature here;

    It's no big conspiracy - we're not alowed to speculate here about what features Apple may or may not add in the future, so there really isn't much to talk about.

  • Pauses between tracks? (Brutal 1 or 2 second interruption between tracks)

    I would like to know if there is a way to program the iPod so that when I’m listening to an album that is supposed to be heard in continuous playback (no pauses between tracks, like in operas, some new age albums and classical music) I can hear it without the brutal one or two second interruption the internal software inserts between tracks.
    Here’s what I have tried. I went to iTunes preferences, in PLAYBACK, and set the CROSSFADE PLAYBACK indicator to ZERO (0) seconds. Then, I updated the iPod. There remains a very noticeable skip between tracks that isn’t there on the original CDs. It is a little better, but still too noticeable.
    What I mean is this. When I listen to my CD on my computer or sound system, there is absolutely no gap or skip between tracks…the music just flows on (example : Alexander by Vangelis, or a Wagner opera). The music is continuous. No skip between tracks.
    Should I conclude there is no way to import this type of recording on the iPod (and iTunes) without adding a skip (even if only a short one) between tracks?
    I have a 40 Gigabytes iPod, version 3.1 of the iPod software.
    Thanks

    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.

  • Is it still possible to remove pauses between tracks when ripping a CD?

    In earlier versions of iTunes, it was possible to remove pauses between tracks. Many classical CDs have long sections subdivided into separate tracks, yet those sections are meant to be heard without pauses. When a CD with those separate tracks gets ripped, there is a brief pause before the next track starts. Is it still possible to remove those pauses?

    Oops. I found the answer to this question after digging for about an hour.
    Yes, it still can rip without pauses.
    Now my issue is how to join (without pauses) music that ends on one CD and continues (without pauses) onto a second CD.
    Any know of any software that does that with MP3s?

    When using iCloud to download them, you are going through the wrong procedure. That PNG file you are downloading is just the thumb nail. Open the image in the browser, then look to the menu at the top. you will see an icon that looks like a cloud with a downward pointing arrow. Click that to download the image.

  • Unexpected Pauses between tracks & a disappearing Nano

    I've had my Product Red nano for nearly a month now & its great, but every so often at the end of a track, the Nano will pause for about 5 seconds before starting to play the next track. Anyone else experience this? I need to know soon, If its defective so I can exchange it out for a different one.
    I've also noticed that with the iTunes7 the Nano will sync up, and right afterwards 50% of the time will dissapear from iTunes. My 2G iPod & U2 iPod never have done that in iTunes 7. I called Apple support and they told me that it normal for the iPod to unmount after updating & remove itself from the Left Pane. I don't see how that's normal since it doesn't always disappear. The nano always disappears as soon as I connect any other iPod to the computer. But if one of the other iPods are connected & I plug in the Nano, I see them both until the Nano is updated then it disappears.
    It really frustrating cause I will play several tracks & have to manually remove & reconnect the Nano to sync. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Continuous play between songs without a pause between tracks

    I have a lot of "mixed" cds which I have uploaded into my ipod. The cd's feature many songs mixed together into one continuous flow. Each track is marked (1-?) so you may select a specific song instead of their only being one long track. The problem is that when uploaded into my itunes (and ipod), when the cd is played, there is a pause between the tracks (like on normal cds) which obviously breaks the flow of the music. Is there any way around this?

    One other option that I've begun using to separate tracks in a cd with songs that flow from one to the next (Dream Theater anyone?) yet retain the artists vision is to use Apple's Chapter Tool and use this in conjunction with a tool like Scriptbuilder's . "Podcastenhancer". (There are other utilities but this is the one I personally use.)
    What this does is allow you to rip the cd with all tracks joined and then add "Chapters" to the file to indicate where each track should start. Created for use in building podcasts (like the iTunes New Music Tuesday podcast) where you want the content broken up, the combination of these tools will help you separate your songs and add album artwork at the same time. What you end up with is one long continuous song file with the ability to jump from track to track on your iPod and select the appropriate "song" in iTunes from the chapter list that appears when the file is played.

  • PAUSE BETWEEN TRACKS

    Does anyone know how to put a small pause inbetween tracks when I download them from itunes or burn a cd? Mine all run into each other.

    For iTunes playback, go to iTunes Preferences -> Playback and either deselect "Crossfade Songs" or decrease or increase the amount of time it takes for the current song to fade out at the end and the new song to fade in, drag the “seconds” slider left or right.
    For burning Audio CDs, in the "Burn Options" dialog which pops up when you select "Burn Disc", you can select a gap between songs from None to 1,2 ... up to 5 seconds.

  • Anyone have a missing wave form in editor Problem? Can't move audio files between tracks also

    I want to edit my track but i can't , i also can't move recordings to different tracks up or down, i have to copy and paste them but then i lsoe audio, also the trim tool doesn't appear when i hover over the edge of the audio .

    Hi,
    Your audio is part of a track stack. If you click the disclosure triangle to show the subtracks, you'll be able to see and edit your regions in the Audio Track editor, as well as move them to other tracks and use the resize tool.

  • Audio Mixing between track and menu items

    The gain on my menu audio is too high. How can I reduce/mix the menu audio so that it better matches the track audio ?
    Thanks,
    Andrwe

    Use an external sound editor to reduce the level of the audio-file [of the menu]; and then use the quieter version in DVD-SP. Try installing Bias Peak LE, which should have come with DVD-SP.

  • External Hard drive pausing between tracks

    Hi, I just transferred all of my music from my macbook pro to my external hard drive recently to conserve space, but now when ever songs play consecutively in itunes there is a big pause (sometimes up to 5 seconds) right before the next track starts--usually when the currently playing track has 3 seconds left. I have a Western Digital 400 GB Passport. Is there anyway to remove, or at least reduce, this pause? It's really annoying... thanks!

    Hi. I just got my new iMac and when I first plug it in, I get a message saying that the drive is unreadable. When I open Disk Utility, the drive is in there, but when I click Verify Disk it says the disk needs to be repaired. When I click Disk Repair, it says that it can't be repaired and to back up as many files as I can and to reformat.
    This is a major problem. How can I back up my files if I can't even view them ?
    Again, I am desperate here. I can't sleep!
    UPDATE:
    Okay, I'm not a techincal genius here, so forgive me if my ideas are useless. Don't be afraid to be honest with me. I was reading up on the Disk Image function, in which Disk Utility will copy the entire contents of the drive into a single dmg file. In theory, could I do this, reformat the drive (on my iMac) and then somehow restore my files onto the drive using the dmg file ?
    Also, could RAID be of any use for me ?

  • Tabbed documents default to center of workspace - can that be changed?

    When you open an image in PS and have your workspace to allow new documents to be opened as tabbed - the image is in the center of the screen.  I want to know if it can be adjusted to appear on the left of the screen?  I use two monitors and have the PS application window stretched to fill both monitors.  I do this so that the layers pallette and other windows will be on the right hand side of my screen and out of the way of an image while I work.  However, with the image being in the center of the document, the image is actually split between my two monitors.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Try this:  Put the main applicaiton window only on your primary monitor, and drag the panels out to the second monitor.  The panels do not need to stay inside Photoshop's window, and all documents will open in the main window only.
    It's how I work...

  • Just got ios7 on iPhone but calendar doesn't list events like in ios6. You need to tap the date to see what is listed on the calendar . Can that be changed ?

    Don't like calendar set up with IOS7. Can't see list of actual events on calendar as was the case with IOS6. If you have a dental appointment in October but can't remember the day ,you need to tap each day to see what us on whereas before you could just scroll down the dates showing a list what is on. Wish that could be organized as before. Is there a way to set it up as in ios6? Otherwise ios7 looks great .

    Im not going to be much help because I don't know of anything else to besides take it somewhere that fixes electronics and see if they can get it off some how maybe if you take it to an apple store they can do something to get your information.

  • Why do I have to type in my password every time I download an app? Can that be changed?

    Why

    Apps, whether the be free or require a payment are then associated with the Apple ID that was used to download them. To make sure that the person downloading the app is the person to whom the purchase or download will be associated you are requested to enter your password. That's the way it is.
    Updating previously downloaded apps no longer requires entering your password.
    Downloading multiple apps in sequence will also require only entering your password once.
