greenshank Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just having bought an NH900 (my very first foray into MD!), I'm disappointed to find that I get audible glitches between tracks that are supposed to run into one another seamlessly. (E.g. Dark Side Of The Moon.) Is this a known problem? I'm using SS 2.1 and I've tried different ATRAC3 rates and different WMA encodings but to no avail.The only workround I've found is to rip the CD using lossless WMA and combine the tracks using MediaJoin.

bobt Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Try going up to SS3.3, and try using Simple burner. Make sure your menu doen't have insert pause at end of track, I believe that is in there but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sorry, I can't see the "insert pause" option anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 What is the source of the songs? MP3s? If the source is any other than AudioCD, then you will have gaps since the gap is in the source material. Just converting to Atrac won't magically give you gapless.If your source is the actual audioCD, then try ripping both tracks selected at one shot. Sometimes if you rip tracks individually, you will have gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenshank Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Just tried SS3.3 and it made no difference.OTOH with Simple Burner 2.0 it's perfect! Duh, thanks Sony. Edited November 18, 2005 by greenshank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just tried SS3.3 and it made no difference.OTOH with Simple Burner 2.0 it's perfect! Duh, thanks Sony. With Sonic Stage this can happen if you transfer individidual tracks from within a group together. You need to make sure that your view is set to "Albums" or "Albums / Playlists" from the drop-down views on the left, then when you transfer, just transfer the top level group or album (don't go into an album then select all tracks and transfer).

Clarke.)Another reason why I try to use Simpleburner exclusively to transfer music to MD. Speaking of advance technology, the 5G iPod can decode H.264 video (in comparison, sub 1GHz PCs cannot even playback H.264, my 1GHz celeron chokes on plain DIVX videos), yet cannot do gapless.

Richard Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) I used to use Simple Burner for this very reason when I first got my NH900. Then I figured out what the issue was and now use almost exclusively Sonic Stage because - Sonic Stage will transfer cover art (for players that support it) - SS will transfer track date info (for players that support it) - with SS I can set separate artist info for tracks and albums within the same group. You can't do this I don't think with Simple Burner. ie. set the artist property on a compilation album to "Various" but then set the individual artists on the tracks.

I had many disk (Dark side of the Moon Include) and sound perfect.Do the upgrade if you want to use Sonicstage to use all the bit rates instead of Simple Burner that can transfer in HI-LP, HI-SP and PCM only in HI-MD.
