Audio CD ocpying without gaps

[tomf87]

I'm trying to duplicate a CD for our church and some of the tracks do not have gaps. For example, the first entire song uses tracks 1 - 3.

Is there a way on my iMac to copy this thing without gaps? I was able to copy it and there is a few millisecond 'hiccup' when going between tracks. When I play the original CD, there is no 'hiccup'.

Sorry, I just like the word 'hiccup'. :)

Thanks in advance!

Use Toast rather than iTunes.

If you want to get really involved get Jam for Toast as well, it allows you to play with the PQ subcode and burn truly Redbook standard CD's.

You'll be able to lose the gaps no problem.

if you go into itunes preferences under the burning tab there will be "gap between tracks" - automatically set to 2 seconds - change that and you'll be set.

I had changed that and that's why I get a millisecond gap. I'll give Toast and Jam a try (on my mac and when I get home for a snack).

If you want, you can import the first three tracks as one using the "Join CD Tracks" feature in the Advanced menu in iTunes.
