A normal CD player wont have the functionality to be able to cue up the track just before the sound. You need a DJ cd player like a pioneer CDJ-800 to do things like that. However on the software side I havent tried mixxx but I would say any "DJ" application would do it, examples I can think of are Ableton, Traktor, (not linux apps those though), or any other linux based DJ apps which allow you to cue up a track. However heres another angle you might want to try: 1. Install Audacity in Ubuntu. 2. Play your sound effects into audacity and record them 3. Edit them and chop off the lead in silence of the effects. 4. Save them out as audio or digital files (depends on your CD player, will it play mp3?) 5. Burn the tracks onto a CD When you play them on a regular CD player, they should fire off almost instantly. -Mark -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Probably not quite ideal, but mixxx does a reasonable job of this (it's a digital DJ app). As far as I can tell you can only load 2 tracks at once, but it's easy to create playlists to queue up your other sound effects.
