Audio CD pregap problem

[mauriz]

Hello,

 

I came across ImgBurn when I was looking for a program which is able to handle more complex cuesheets. The programm is quite impressive, so first of all thank you for a great work! Still, I do have a problem:

I'm editing live opera recordings, and a typical CD would consist of two or more wave-files, one for each scene or act, each wave-file including several tracks, and pregaps of 5 seconds to devide two scenes or 10 seconds to devide two acts (see attached cuesheet).

 

Burning the CD-R went fine, verifying as well, but when I tried to play the CD it turned out that the pregaps did not show up as a sort of countdown (-5,-4, etc) before the following track (as I expected) and not as an addition to the preceding track (which would, I must admit, slightly annoy me), but instead at the end of the preceding track the CD-player's display froze for 5 or 10 seconds (depending on the lenght of the pregap) – and the player finally gave up. Same problem with any player I tried.

 

Is there an option to change the way ImgBurn handles pregaps or did I make a mistake?

 

Thanks in advance,

Go into Read mode and see if the 'View Media Information' button in the 'Source' box brings up a screen showing the pregaps etc as you expect to see them.

Yes, in Read mode the 'media information' shows 'Index 0' exactly where I wrote 'pregap' in the cuesheet and associates it with the following track. Looks exactly as the cuesheet looks in 'image information' and has the same length and LBA.

Thanks for the fast reply!
