(I'm assuming it does work... since I have seen it > mentioned on this forum several times). When using EAC to rip to multiple files most people choose to append between-track gaps to the end of tracks. For instance, if there's a 1.5 second gap between tracks 2 and 3, that 1.5 seconds is added to the end of track 2. This way, when playing back the files from the computer in the original track order, the gaps will be exactly as when playing back the original CD. If there's no gap between two tracks, then no gap is added to the end of the track and playback of the two tracks in succession should be gapless.
The creation and use of CUE sheets when ripping to multiple files is mostly for the purpose of burning a CD from the individual files if you choose to do so at a later date. In EAC, if you create a non-compliant CUE sheet, then burning software that understands that type of CUE sheet can set the CD indexes the same as they were on the original CD. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20376 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
