Gapless playback

I have a live recording on my hi-MD unit, which is split into tracks.

During playback the transition between tracks is quite noticable - a click.

Is it possible to have a gapless playback on hi-MD? Maybe some virtual track marks or something?

(The original recording is gapless/clickless).

Can you elaborate more your problem? What HiMD modle are you using? Do you have the same gap/click problem everytime you have live recording? Anyway to answer your question Yes, it is possible to have a gapless playback on HiMD.

Thanks for getting my hopes up.

I have RH10. I uploaded 3 different live concerts on my MD. The gaps are on all of them during the transition between tracks - it takes a split second for MD unit to load the next track and I hear a gap. It's kind of the same thing that I had in winamp before I found out how to set a 500ms read ahead option.

Regarding the playback settings.

Now PlayMode is set to Normal and SubPlayMode is set to Normal as well. I tried other values such as Group Play, Repeat, etc, but it doesn't help. Sound is set to Normal, no EQ.

This thread was moved from hi-MD discussion to Live Recordings, but the problem is not that it is a live recording. I'm just trying to playback a continuous recording which has no 2 second pauses between tracks.

The files are in 256kbit/s ATRACplus. Transferred from CD. It was not recorded by hi-MD unit originally.

I'm guessing you transferred them to MD by selecting all tracks in SS and then pressing transfer... to get gapless playback, you should either (in SS) use the album/playlist view, select the entire album and press transfer or use SB to get them on MD

Thanks Volta, I tried that. Indeed in the album view it looks like it transfers in a different way, but still I hear a tiny gap between songs. Like the minidisc needs time to load the next track and it looks like this can't be avoided.

Do you not notice any transition between the live tracks at all?

OK I got your problem, as Low Volta said use the simple burner to record the live CD to your MD
