hey what would you guys say is a good program to burn CD's with?

i'm using windows media player, and i don't think it'll let me edit how long the gap is between each song.

I use the ones that come pre-installed on my PCs:
RecordNow on my desktop
Roxio Creator on my laptop

I also now sometimes use Nero 9 (which I bought recently to burn DVDs - but also burns CDs)

All three work well for me - and I listen to the CDs created on Sennheiser studio headphones and on Quad ELS-57 electrostatic speakers (renowned for being accurate and revealing).

Sorry, I don't know if any of them let you control the intersong gap - you can probably read the manuals/specs on t'interweb.

steve, i downloaded CDburnerXP, but i can't figure out how to change the settings so there aren't any gaps between each song.

i'm wasting all my CD's!!

anyone know of a free burning program that will for sure let you have no gaps between songs?? thanks!!

hey all, im new to the Audacity Forums but not new to Audacity, been using for it for... 4 years now.
why im posting here is I found this thread very helpful...and have read every line of it.

I had the same question my self when I first starting using audacity.....and how I would do it...is simply just make a selection and export selection as ...etc .. it was tedious and now that i have seen this thread and details about Label Tracks and export multiple...it may just get a little easier. I do have a few questions tho and once i mess around I will ask them here.

As I am becoming more involved with advanced mixing I will be sure to have some questions quite opposite of this thread..and how to combine...seperate tracks into one long....mix...and beat mix them ...etc...

Either way Thanks all.
