Hello, if you're dealing with concerts on your hard drive, especially with lossless cd trading, this is a problem that recievers of your discs will thank you for correcting. Depending on how the resultant .wav files are cut, the editing program may not respect the cd track boundaries, as far as how they're made. This is what causes the barely-perceptible split-second gaps between tracks. They're called sector boundary errors. They can be corrected with a command line program called SHNTool, or with another program called Trader's Little Helper. If you'll get a plug-in for your media player which plays files gaplessly, like the gapless plug-in for Winamp, then you can test whether the files actually are seamless when played back. However, there still may be sector boundary errors in the .wav files, even if the files play gaplessly in your media player. This is why you'll need to fix them with the programs I listed above. If you're a Sound Forge user, then you'll definitely need to fix these, since no current version of that program cuts the files on their correct sector boundary. I've asked them to fix this in future versions, so maybe they will. I hope this helps, and sorry if it was a bit technical, but hopefully you can get what you desire. If you've any more questions, just ask. Oh, and if you have files which already have the gaps in them to begin with, then there are programs which try to remove these, with varying degrees of success, like WavTrim. Thanks a lot. Matthew
