Music - "Dead Space" Between Tracks

Hello,
Got my music to BB Music Folder OK, and it plays and displays Albums correctly; BUT, unlike any other MP3 player I've used, there is a blank (dead) second or two added between each track.
I listen to music where one track is seamless to another (mainly classical) and the two second pause between tracks is destructive to the listening experience.
I have looked at options and find no setting for this. Is there a general setting elsewhere that I don't know about?

Dont bring TOS into this. What does TOS really have to do with this anyway. I simply asked a question and received a response that basicly said that I was asking a stupid question.
"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."
Hmm... Kinda sounds like I am being belittled a bit because I did not do a search for gapless playback. If you will forgive me, Im not the most technically inclined person in the world. I use my ipod to do what it is designed for, LISTEN TO MUSIC, not look like a trendy person who does not really enjoy music but likes to have one anyway. You can take that as you want.
As far as him not having to do anything with apple, yes it is a good thing. Im sure that apple has better sense than to higher somebody that answers questions like that.
And guess what, I was not aware that there were so many people that had the same complaint as me. I have talked to one other person in my life with an ipod that has had that problem. I guess this would be the thing I can thank Ol' richy for the most is telling me that there are multiple people that wish they could listen to their music without a gap.
Oh, and yes I did happen to send feedback to apple. What are you, his body guard?
And I believe that it is not so much the TOS that should have been reffered to as much as the legend key, Silly me, I didnt notice that he does not have a shiny apple next to his name. But neither do you, are you looking for a job with apple, or just hang out on the forums all day?

Space between tracks

Is there any way to get iTunes or iPod to playback songs seemlessly without a space between tracks? On some albums tracks flow into one another and on the iPod this flow is lost.

Editing amount of pause time or dead air between tracks in iTunes

Is there a way to increase the pause time between tracks in iTunes? Currently iTunes plays seamlessly from one track to the next, sometimes even clipping the end of a track. I'd like to have a second or two pause between tracks. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

If it's clipping the end of a track, then Crossfade Playback is probably turned on. Turn it off, and iTunes will move from one song to the next exactly as it does on the CD (i.e., with however much space between them as there is on the album).

Super basic? I don't know to how to add space between tracks!

I think I assigned two seconds between each song but this is not happening. How do I do a universal setting and how do I do it individually? Thanks if you can help!

Default Pause Length in the preferences and Disk Menu -> Set Pause Length

The purple Track Start Marker is split in two. Grabbing either side to affects the track start or pause start and/or length. You can also type it in the CD tracks list. And you can grab and move whole regions to where you want. There are several other features in this type of marker and which affect the index points, pauses and regions - check through the manual to get exactly the result you want.

When burning a playlist to CD, the choice of space between the tracks doesn't appear to be working

I've noticed that when I try to burn a playlist to CD, I could set how many seconds between tracks (0 to 5). That drop down menu is still there but it doesn't seem to be functional now. It always defaults to 0 seconds, no matter what number in the drop down list I choose. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 with Mountain Lion. I tend to burn at 1x speed.

Mick,
Make a different playlist that has entirely different songs from the first playlist, and contains less than 70 minutes of music. Does it burn?

Is there a way to make the transition between tracks seamless on iTune purchases of through-composed music? Please advise. Thanks

Thanks for answering Chris. You clearly have much more experience than I do in these matters, and I don't mean to challenge... but that's not been my experience. If I choose shuffle for a list of all songs and listen continuously for many hours, I really do (and will) hear repeats.

Justify tracking? That is, justify letters, not the space between words...

I know this question might be kind of hard to understand... Okay, so usually you justify type, and you can get some rivers, right? I've been reading this book, and the type is set in a way where there are no rivers. The type is justified, but it seems as if the individual letters are justified (like the tracking) rather than the words. The space differs from each word's letters, and not the space between each word. Attached are some photos of the book in question.
Exaggerated examples of what I am trying to say.
The book's layout:
H e l l o m y n a m e i s L a n d o n.
Normal Justification:
Hello my name is Landon.
Thanks!

Yes, InDesign allows this. Look in the Justification options: the default settings are to adjust Word Spacing from 80% to 133%, with a preferred value of 100% (which is in Space Widths), and Letter Spacing has all set to 0%, meaning it should not be touched. (I may have set these as defaults. YMMV.)
To achieve this effect, you could -- at least theoretically -- set "Word Spacing" to 100%,100%,100% and set Letter Spacing to something like -5%,0%,20%. Be warned though that in this case, InDesign will Do What You Ask, but that this will not "thus" make Good Typography!
With slightly more sane settings, Word Spacing at 90%,100%,110% and Letter Spacing at 0%,0%,20% (note I don't touch the "Minimum"!), you get something like this. Top: regular settings, bottom: adjusted.

How do I keep the "rating" view between tracks in the iPad music app?

Between tracks, the ratings view in iOS 5 switches to album art. How do I keep it from doing so?

I'd like to apologize to all that viewed, and especially those who responded with suggestions. I apparently overlooked/didn't notice the total songs and length of time at the bottom of the screen. I was exclusively looking for the information at the top. My sincere apologies to all. Thanks very much and happy holidays!

Unwanted space between songs

Hello, I recently uploaded a cd to iTunes. The cd has many tracks all of which run together (ie side 2 of Abby Road or perhaps Dark Side of the Moon). When I play back the music on my iPod it puts in a space where the next "song" starts except that space really shouldn't be there. Is there a setting to take care of this problem?
Thanks
Nick

You know...I'm not sure. You might have to test it on a couple of tracks and see. I think part of it may even be directly related to how the album/CD itself is timed. I think the production of the album might leave more space between certain tracks...not sure.
By the way, if you have tracks that you always want to play together (like the little Dreamboat Annie interlude that MUST lead into Crazy on You....and Golden Slumbers-Carry That Weight-The End just aren't the same alone) you can join those tracks together. The only drawback is you have to do it when you're ripping the CDs into iTunes. Select the (consecutive) tracks before you import and go under Advanced to Join CD Tracks. (I've reimported a couple of things for this reason.) It will create one track of the selected songs.

Pop sound between tracks on ipod/iphone but not iTunes

hello,
not sure if this is the correct forum but i have an iphone 3G (and an ipod nano 3G) and like to listen to music without breaks so i delete any spaces of silence in between tracks (with Audacity). my problem is that when music is lined back to back like this (without any silence), there is a pop sound at the beginning of the second track. the editing should be clean because it plays perfectly fine on iTunes.
my question: is it just a matter of my equipment being too old and needing to upgrade? is the processing too slow? would a iphone 5 be able to play just as well as iTunes?
appreciate any comments or assistance in advance.

Hi
If I keep them on itunes thet will sync over to the ipod when connected.We didnt want them on the opod because when on shuffle they will play which isnt what we want.any ideas appreciated.
Cheers

Dead space showing up in print preview; can't place objects in it

hi -- Somehow, I've managed to get what I'll call a "dead space" in between my last page footer and my report footer. The design view looks completely normal: page footer A, page footer B, and report footer. None are suppressed.
However, when I go to the print preview, what I have is: page footer A, page footer B, a dead space, and then the report footer. The dead space looks like a section, in that the far left of the preview shows lines (like section dividers) both above and below the dead space. However, when I right click on the dead space, I don't get a Section Menu; I also don't get a section name when the mouse hovers over that dead space. I can't place objects in the dead space.
It wouldn't be a huge deal except for the fact that the report is long enough that the dead space causes it to overflow onto a second page, which isn't acceptable.
How can I get rid of this thing? I really don't want to recreate the report. It's quite complex.
Thanks,
Carol

Hi Carol,
That's interesting. I've never heard of this rogue spacing issue.
Why don't you try insertting the following in the Page Footer B Suppress formula.

Maybe that will help.

Indesign opens files with no space between each word, this happened after a mac update, help?? I don't want to have to go through and manually do it.

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

Space Between Songs

Hello,
I am using iTunes to burn a disc of my own music that I made in Logic. I seem to remember on previous versions of iTunes an option to control how much space, if any, is left between the songs. Is that not possible? I want to eliminate the space between the songs. I worked forever on these connections between the songs, and now when I am finally ready to burn the disc there is an unpleasant, arhythmic gap of silence. Any tips? Or maybe some freeware program options? (I don't have Toast or any money)
Thanks

You won't ged rid of the gaps totally by burning with iTunes.
iTunes doesn't support DAO (Disc-At-Once), which is essential for burning gapless.
Well, no Toast, no money.....
Maybe a trial version of Dragon Burn will be sufficient for burning a few CDs.

Sort By Artist leaves spaces between some albums and some without. Help !

Hello All,
So I'm looking for some help here. I have my iTunes in basically perfect order but the one thing I can't figure out is that when sorting by artist (or even by album for that matter). Some albums have a one line space between them and others do not.
I've attached a screen shot to explain.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj87/TSchiewe/Picture1-3.png
If you look, there's a line space between "Arcade Fire" and "Archie Bell & the Drells"(which is what I want for everything). But no line space between "Archie Bell & the Drells" and "Architecture In Helsinki" and for that matter between the the next "Architecture In Helsinki" album.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can seem to find anything but I think its mainly do to the ambiguous terms.
Travis.

You'll probably find that if you shrink the artwork column a bit the blank line disappears. For albums with few tracks there will always be some blank lines to allow the art to be displayed, but at some point the display changes to contiguous listing. As far as I'm aware this is a cosmetic change introduced with iTunes 8. In iTunes 7.x there was always at least one blank line separating albums in the equivalent layout.

How to create space between Header text of Hierarchical ALV List.

hi,
I am display data using Hierarchical ALV List.
In Perform of field catalog, I am writing this code:
PERFORM fill_catalogue USING :

      'HOLD_STAT' 'T_HEADER' 4 'HOLD'(t52)              ' ',
      'ICON'       'T_HEADER' 9 'Tracking'(t21)          ' ' ,
      'CREATE_DT' 'T_HEADER' 10 'Archiving Date'(t22)    ' ' ,

      'REJCT_REASON' 'T_ITEM' 60 'Rejection Reason'(t31) ' ' .
At output of this program , there are two rows in HEADER details.
I want text 'Session notes' of 2nd row under 'Archiving Date' of 1st row.
For this i have to create space between 'Data Fiscal Year' & 'Session notes' text.
How i can do this.
