(588=44100/75)
Usually when CD tracks segue without a silence, there is some latitude in
placing the track mark; it just has to be, say, anywhere at all during the
applause between numbers of a live concert, for example. Rounding to a
multiple of 1/75 of a second is not much of a stricture when one is mastering
a CD from a continuous recording. One doesn't have that luxury in writing
.wav files to CD, and while making an expected silence 1/75 of a second
longer or shorter may not be noticeable, and moving the track mark 1/75 of
a second ahead or back in the middle of five seconds of applause may not be
either, an unexpected interruption of nearly 1/75 of a second *is*.
Maybe part depends on the CD player, and some players can distinguish recorded
silence from unused samples in a group and skip instantaneously over the lat-
ter?
