Hi Beachball Have a look at 'Wavepad alters sound ..... ' dated 7 May. I had the same problem but after a while I came up with a solution and repled to myself under that heading in case it helped anyone - I wanted to disable the 2 second silence too but had to skirt round it instead - but although it takes extra time it does work and you don't get the irritatig 2- sec blank Tony

Thanks to the 71 people who looked at this query (but no one replied). I think I've solved it by sheer chance so if you are interested ............. instead of copying direct from each ripped track, save them all one by one and then go into the standard Windows media player that is on most Microsoft XL packages. Then select the option to compile a CD for home or car use. Then search for valid music files by clicking on this option (at top of left-hand box of music tracks) and then pull the tracks one by one to the right hand box in consecutive order). You can then burn them as a compilation CD and there will be no 'black' gaps between tracks. Amazing what prodding a few experimental buttons will do - it seems to be a good replacement for genuine computer skills! Antony Hodgson
