Another techy kwestchun please, music this time...

[Gas'd Off]

Can anyone help please
I'm using Windows media player 11 to rip CD's and then sync music to my phone. I have a number of albums that are one continuous piece eg Jean Michell Jarre. When ripped it shows up as, say 10 tracks. It doesn't have audible delay when played on the PC? But then when I send the album to my phone it inserts a break between the tracks. Somewhat spoils the effect
My kwestchun is, how can I get round this? I'm sure I've seen somewhere in the settings a reference to "track gap delay" or some such? I have looked everywhere now and I can't find it again! Can someone point me in the right direction puleease.
I thang yow cherry buds

The gapping between the tracks is down to the software on your phone/MP3 player. I'm a bit of a fan of the Creative Muvo player but, rather annoyingly, it doesn't support continuous play and thus you get that little break between each track. It has nothing to do with how your ripping the tracks so don't worry on that account.
There is basically very little you can do about it. Check out if there are any software/firmware updates for your phone/MP3 player as the manufacturer may release an update that supports continuous play.

Not sure why manufacturers don't all just do continuous play. I guess its down to how the hardware/software loads and decodes the mp3/wma/etc files. I presume continuous play devices can play a track while simultaneously decoding the next track.

I'd be interested if anyone knows more about this...

Thanks for the info greencat. Looks like I'll just have to lump it then. I can't find any settings on the phone about continuous play.
Cheers

Atkule,

An alternative is to change the album into 1 single large track then send it to your phone.. Audacity should be able to do this for you. You can download it here:-
