i was burning a gapless cd at a friends.
i had some bandcamp alac files so had to convert to aiff so his nero could read them.
these two files play fine in itunes at the crossover point. no click can be heard.
but after burning a cd in nero, we could hear a slight 'click' at the crossover point from track 1 to 2.
here is what i did:
1) i highlighted the two tracks in the nero playlist-right-clicked-selected 'properties'-selected 'pause' set to '0'.
2) ticked 'no pause between tracks' and 'remove silence between tracks'.
if the files play fine in itunes, where is the click coming from?
is it hardware related?
for example, the cdrom drive or cdr discs i am using?
could this have an impact upon the overall burning process?

Hi baz-
What happens if you don't select "remove silence between tracks"? -

I downloaded the test version of Nero Burning ROM 2018 to see if it would meet my requirements when other programs I've been using began failing. One requirement I have is to support gapless play. To test this, I split an audio track in two -- at a cross-over point. The burn process went fine. But when I tested the newly burned CD on my computer and in my car's CD player, there was a click as the players changed tracks.
I then ripped the newly burned CD back onto my computer and compared the files to see where the click might be coming from. Nero inexplicably lopped off 8 msec from the end of the leading file at a point that was NOT at the cross-over. In playing the two files consecutively, the waveform has a point of discontinuity between where it was lopped off in the leading file and the cross-over point in the following file. That's obviously where the click came from.
Why would Nero throw away part of an audio file when burning it to CD? Where else might it be throwing away audio information? -
