CD tracks

Audio CD’s almost always contain more than one track. This makes it easy to search for a particular fragment, by choosing a certain track number on your CD player.

When you are going to make an audio CD of digital recordings, you always need a separate digital sound file for each individual track.

Most CD-burning hardware and software force a gap of two seconds in between the tracks on CD. To eliminate this 2-second gap, see if your CD-burning software has an option called ‘Disk-at-once’ or ‘CD-at-once’.

Most times, an LP or music cassette also contains multiple separated tracks, so that you can easily digitize each track one by one, or you can use the Audio Editor to separate tracks if you record an entire LP or cassette side at once.

Sometimes however, the tracks or songs on an LP or cassette are concatenated without a pause in between, but instead run over into each other with applause for example. Also in this case, you can use the Audio Editor to neatly separate the digital recordings of those songs.
