the solution for DJing is not iTunes
Authored by: garbanzito on Jan 18, '02 08:53:14PM
if you want to be a DJ, you need Audion. you can mix 2+ tunes, and beat-match them.

if you have Toast Deluxe, i think Audion should be on the CD, otherwise try Panic

Not Audion either

Sorry, but Audion has the same problem only worse. The gap between songs is much longer than the gaps that iTunes has.

And no, I'm not a DJ nor do I want to be one. I just want to listen to MP3s without gaps between them.

Maybe you listen only to rock and roll so you don't understand the problem. Ok. Get Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here. Listen to the CD on a regular CD player. Note that the tracks run together such that you do not notice the end of one track and the beginning of the next.

Create MP3s from the entire CD. An individual MP3 will be created for each track. Play the tracks in order using iTunes. Be sure that crossfading in turned OFF under iTunes | Preferences | Effects. Listen to the gaps between tracks.

Turning crossfading on is not an option as it only masks the gaps by making tracks overlap in time. The overlap causing the beats in the songs to skip. This happens with dance, techno, and house. I can't think of an example on a rock CD.

This does not seem to be the right place to discuss this issue. I'm going to continue this discussion in the new forums.
