mp3 burning

I'm sure there is something I'm missing but how can one remove the gap between mp3 files?  It's simple if I was burning a normal cd, but I want to remove it with mp3 files.  I'm currently burning from the command line so the command for that is wanted most, since I can't imagine that I HAVE to use a frontend to do this smile

Anybody currently doing this?  It's probably simple but I can't find it...

hm.. you are burning with cdrecord?
like this -> cdrecord -v speed=<yourspeed> dev=<yourcdrecorddevice> 1.mp3 2.mp3 ...
or?

Re: mp3 burning

Yes I am burning with cdrecord, burning an entire directory of mp3s that I prearrange.  The wiki doesn't work, thats for decoding them first into .wavs.  I want to burn them as mp3s, basically burning a data cd.

Re: mp3 burning

cdrecord -v speed=<whatever> dev=<whatever> -data /path/to/mp3's

as you said you just make a data cd. I don't think there are applicable padding rules like you can with burning audio cds.

you may need to make an image first though:

mkisofs -R -j  -V My_mp3s -o mp3.iso /path/to/mp3s

Re: mp3 burning

Well Sarah, I did that but my Pink Floyd came out all gappy, or perhaps its the car stereo... hrm now I have to look into that.  Listening to The Wall with gaps is exceedingly annoying!

Re: mp3 burning

well the audio default is -nopad but like i say i don't know if there are applicable gapping rules for mp3's. it may be more a default function of the player. i suppose you could try the -nopad option.

Re: mp3 burning

There isn't a "gap" between mp3 files.  They're just files.  There is no relation between them.  Your cd player is putting the gap in there.

Re: mp3 burning

You're probably talking about the 2-second silence that many burners place before each track (excluding track 1).

Try the defpregap=0 option w/ cdrecord.

cdrecord(1) wrote:

defpregap=#
Set  the default pre-gap size for all tracks except track number
1.  This option currently only makes sense with the  TEAC  drive
when  creating  track-at-once disks without the 2 second silence
before each track.
This option may go away in future.
