CDBurner is in fact doing DAO (&#8222;disk at once&#8220; &#8212; the technique typically used to avoid this) but uses a two-second gap as a default. If you want to avoid this, use the Pre-gap slider to control the gap length. However, do <i>not<\/i> set the slider to 0 seconds or you&#8217;ll still get the two-second gap due to a bug. Instead, set the gap length to 0.02 and you&#8217;ll get a gap short enough not to be noticeable.<br \/>\nAlternatively, you can use Marcus Overhagen&#8217;s excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bebits.com\/app\/736\">CD Manager<\/a>, which also has the advantage of supporting more burners. In CD Manager, just select all tracks, right-click on them, and choose &#8222;Set Pause \/ 0 seconds&#8220; and click on the red button.<br \/>\nTech note: On an audio CD, a track must be a multiple of 2352 Bytes (thats 1\/75 second). CDBurner may append some silence at the end of the track if the WAV file is not exact a multiple of 2352 Bytes (plus 42 bytes WAV header).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you burn audio CDs with Be&#8217;s CDBurner, you&#8217;ll get a two-second silent gap between tracks, as is the industry standard.
