    there isnt much point is there? cos it wont make any difference, and just reduce the quality when i dont need to?

    dead easy Revel, you'll need to know the times of when each track starts, i.e. 5mins 12sec then 11mins 33sec then 16mins 07sec etc etc then drag the whole .wav into nero and into the CD burning window, right click on the file and select Properties from the little menu , NOT audio editor. Another window will open, from there choose the tab Indexes, Limits, Split - let it load the track into memory, click "Add index" for each start time of the track. That way, it will keep it one continuous mix, yet the CD player reading it will allow the different tracks to be selected.

    don't use nero so don't know if this is shite or whatever, but...


    on some programmes the max time for audio cd's is set to about 74mins, an when i had a mix lasting over that i had to go into the options thing an change the max cd length to 80mins...

    could be something like that? :confused:

    maybe theres too much data being burned on the disc, ive had problems cos at the end of the burn there needs to be room for the burner to mark the disc as finsished and close the session. if theres not enough room this can cause problems..myabe its writing over some of the end of the track

    you can jus use a generic driver... but do a test 1st...

    an mine's fukked up now, the track markings are on there, but cd players don't recognise them or spomething, an at the start of the tracks the track time starts counting down from 99minutes!

    any1 know of a good cd writer thingy?

    or how you do trackmarkings in sound forge?

    if this is the prob then you could jus burn a cd wi no markings, then re-record it onto your pc playing at +0.5 or something, so it only lasts for about 70 mins, so you should be able to trackmark it?

    long way of doing it but jus tought i'd suggest it. :)
