Music Player - continuous DJ mix Album has pauses b/w tracks

obry wrote:I listen to mostly electronic music so I buy a lot of continuous mixed cd's. When I rip them using Windows Media Player to my local PC the playlist plays fine but when I transfer the album to my N95 8GB, there's a split second pause when it goes from one track into the other which is pretty annoying. So basically what I'm asking is this: is there another program that will rip my CD's differently so there will be no pause or I have to rip my CD's as one single track?

It's not the ripping, it's the playback. Sadly a lot of music playback software pauses between tracks. Even Windows Media Player did right up until about version 9. Others have plugins or settings but the Nokia music player will pause for a second. Annoying but until the fix it in firmware you will have to try a 3rd party player. I'm sure someone will suggest one.

Like the original poster, I too listen to mixed CDs and have, for some years now, had to put up with the short breaks at track changes when listening on mobile phones. Maybe one day Nokia will sort it.

If you rip your CD to a single track you've got around the problem but introduced a couple more. I walk to work and listen to music on the way. When I get home, I tend to turn my phone off. When I turn it back on again in the morning, yes the music player remembers the track I was listening to last but it starts at the beginning again even though I may have been at 79m45s. I would then have to fast forward to try and find where I was!

My solution - just put up with the short gaps.
