Flac to MD SP gapless. Is it possible with SonicStage?

Yesterday I wanted to put an album that was on my computer in Flac format onto a Minidisc but some of the tracks had no gaps in between them so I had to go through a ridiculously complicated process to transfer it as if those tiny gaps are added it drives me insane.

This is what I had to do and it worked fine but if anyone could tell me an easier way I would be very grateful.

I converted the flac files to wav using Flac Frontend and then imported the album into SonicStage. I then burned the album onto a CD-RW then put the cd into my cd player and copied it digitally in real time to my MD deck with no gaps.

If only SonicStage would do this in SP mode. It seems to be fine for LP2, LP4 and Hi-MD but not SP.

Very annoying!

Yeah I don't believe SS knows what a FLAC is :D

I use foobar2000 and a TOSLINK cable to record FLAC to SP 1 to 1. This, of course, assumes you have optical out on your computer.

Flac + foobar2000

Asio4all or KS audio output

depending your system, if you can up to 24 to 32bit output data format, sweep sample rate (advanced settings) if you can up to 192000

If you want no gap, don't use the post-track silence DSP.

Just go to the end of each track (suppose to be here) and create T-marks because your MD will often combine tracks.
