I`m sure this has been discussed before but I couldn`t find the post, Now I only know the basics of computers so can someone tell me how to get rid of these annoying clicks?

I use Nero to burn CD`s, there`s a box I tick which says Don`t leave Gaps between tracks, Although it dosen`t leave a gap it leaves an Annoying click as one song ends and another song starts, it`s really Bugging Me

Thanks for any help

I click 3 things before burning with Nero.
- un-mark the box that says "remove silence at the end of tracks"
- set the burning speed down to 8x (2x for DVD)
- mark the box that says "burn without gaps between tracks"

And...it works fine for me.

Are you making a Forty Clicks-cd? *LOL*

do you have to buy Nero or can you download it from the web?

often you'll get clicks if you are sourcing from mp3s, even if you burn "without silence" or gaps. Find lossless files if that's the case.

i'll try Erik's technique next time (thanks!) but meanwhile
i check the "crossfade with previous track" option for each track and set it at 3 frames
(sometimes it takes like 5 or 8 frames, but usually 3 is enough).

I got those click clack's in "Stray Cat Blues" looks like someone coming up the stairs, any body know's what this is ?

I have found that the problem arises when burning MP3s and M4as.....my suggestion...use Wav or even better, lose loseless files....Theyre so much better than MP3s anyway!

Oh yes, it's not recommended to burn MP3s and such. You can have problems by doing so.
Keep it to flac/wav.

On a similar note, does anyone know how to remove gaps between tracks when burning a CD in Windows Media player? (E.g what settings I need to change, etc.)

stoneMe.....

thanx for answering my question....

Yeah, I do all my stuff in AIFF (or is it TIFF - one is for non compressed photography, the other is for lossless sound - iPods, I get mixed up) and I still get a super loud pop about 50% of the time in between songs. Is WAV better to go with for lossless? I do my stuff on an OLIVE machine - [www.olive.us] . No need for a computer- load up the massive hard drive and then load up as many iPods as you want;.....THE PROBLEM IS, how do I get rid of THAT POP??

There's a small cd burning program called Burrrn. It is nothing fancy but free and not the bloat-ware Nero has become over the years. Burrrn just burns audio cd's from audio files. You may have to install some codecs to convert some of the lossless files (flac, shn) to cd-audio, but it works quite good out of the box. You can find it at [www.burrrn.net]

There won´t be any clicks between songs, or silences between them if you don´t want any.

Thanks, anybody have anymore info on these between song pops?

Nero FAQ's says it might be "Jitter" problems with the hardware.
try reduceing the burn speed to 1x and see if it still occurs.

also use the Nero CD/DVD Speed Tool to analyse your hardware and already burnt discs.

btw, AIFF is the equivalent to wav format.
1st is Apple's Audio Interchange File Format, the other Microsoft's lossless audio format.
actually Riff Wave (Ressource Interchange File Format)

TIFF - Tagged Image File Format, from Aldus / Adobe

Use iTunes to burn your cds.... play around with the settings and you won't have any problems with annoying sounds.

"What the hell is going on?"

Yeah iTunes is now the best. They removed the annoying gaps, and you can select gapless playback and burning. great!
