you can also record a gapless continuous mix with other softwares too, i use wavelab and audacity , i wonder why mp3s cant be recorded without a gap..

 

They can. Well, not recorded without one exactly, but you can burn gapless mp3 discs with foobar2000. The thing is, they have to be LAME encoded mp3's and they need a LAME header. Foobar2000 reads LAME headers and writes perfectly gapless discs. I wrote a guide on EAC & LAME in the DVKB section ages back if anyone needs to know about high quality mp3 encoding.

Alienz have removed all their web pages, apart from the forum so here's the info without the pics: -

 

You need to add track markers in your mix. This is how:

 

First, mixdown your "mix" to an empty track. Double click on it, so it is in "Edit View". Go to the beginning of your mix and press F8 (that inserts a track marker) from there add Track Markers throughout your mix wherever you want the next track to start. Also, add a track marker at the end of your mix. You must add track markers at the very beginning and very end of your mix.

 

After you have all of your track markers in place. Go to View-->Show Cue Lists. A dialog box will appear with all of your markers. Highlight all of the tracks and select "merge". Then re-highlight all of your tracks and select "batch". Another dialog box will appear, and from here you can select how and where to save your files. Save your files as .wav not .mp3. If you save it as .mp3, there will be a milisecond pause between every track and it won't flow smoothly.

 

Then just burn all the tracks in Nero. If you use Nero Express, just check the box that says "no pause between tracks" and if you use the full version of Nero, highlight all the tracks bar the first, right click and select Properties, then set the Pause to 0.

I've split a few cds using Cool Edit but recently when I play the cd back after about 30 mins I start to get a scraping like noise...which gets worse as the cd continues & sounds really gash at the end as the cd skips....

 

any ideas why?

Some CD burners don't get on well with certain brands of blank disc. If you're using the same blanks you've always used, then chances are that's not the problem, otherwise try buying a different brand of CDR and see how you get on.

Try burning at a slower speed - say 8X and see if that makes a difference. Try playing the burnt disc in a couple of different CD players too. If it's none of those things, then it sounds like your writer may be on the way out.
