I have a lot of mixed cd's, but ripping them is a pain because they end up in several individual tracks, like they are burned on the cd. This is fine on the cd, but in iTunes this will make noticeable gaps when you listen to the mix.
So, what I'm basically looking for is a program that can rip whole cd's with multiple tracks as one track, or preferably, just some sort og plugin to iTunes.

Thanks in advance
 
Don't know of any plug-ins myself mate, but if you've got a lot of time on your hands, you can simply play the whole CD and record the output using a program called 'Wiretap' (available on Macupdate)... don't know if this is too slow for you, but it should work.

From the help file

If you want to remove the gap of silence that normally occurs between songs, select two or more adjacent songs and choose Advanced > Join CD Tracks.

iTunes imports any joined songs as one track. To change back to importing the songs separately, select the joined songs and choose Advanced > Unjoin CD Tracks.

I had this problem when I was importing Abbey Road. 4 or 5 tracks make one continuous piece. The solution is easy but they don't make it obvious how to do it.
