Hey guys,
I've noticed a few CDs on the music store which appear to be non-stop mixes, but are broken up into tracks anyways.
As an example, I am pretty sure the Global Phases 1 disc, mixed by Lange, is a nonstop (doesn't make sense to be mixed otherwise), but the tracks can be bought individually.
There are others which are treated as a single track, for example The Politics of Dancing 2, mixed bu Paul Van Dyk.
For those CDs that are broken up into tracks like the Lange disc, does anyone know if they are broken up in a specific manner than would be different than ripping the tracks individually?
I don't want a couple songs that have remnants of other songs in them, if I like the CD I'm going to pay up for the rest of it. But if the songs are modified so that they don't sound right when non-stop (or if they are in fact full length versions as opposed to the mixed versions that appear on the CD, that would be nice to know as well).
I am under the impression I can download all of the songs, burn them to disc, and then put the disc back in my computer and join tracks and burn as a non-stop with no loss of anything. But if these tracks are broken up, that may not be possible.
Anyone have any ideas?
One last note, I assume there isn't a way to join tracks outside of importing from CD? Might be easier than wasting a disc to re-import and burn again...
Thanks in advance for any help!
