In my experience, classical CDs tend to put the gap into index 0 of the upcoming track (that's the part where you see your CD player "counting down"). If you have ripped individual tracks, then the liklihood is that the ripper has started at the position of index 1 (the point where your CD player stops counting down and the music begins). So you have lost the gap that was present on the CD.
As others have pointed out, rippers often have options regarding what to do with the index 0 portion of tracks (also known as the "pregap"). I think what you want to do most of the time is to ask the ripper to append the pregap to the end of the previous track when ripping - and this means you need to rip the whole CD in one go, not track-by-track. Unfortunately there are also CDs where the content of the pregap naturally belongs at the front of the track it precedes - for example live concert recordings where someone makes an announcement before the song is played. So appending the pregap to the end of the previous track isn't always the right choice. But for studio classical recordings, chances are the pregap is just silence. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91049 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
