Title: Playing with iPod
Post by: Pascalin on August 11, 2003, 11:14:06 AM

I have a piece of classical music that I buy in"  iTunes Music Store" is divided in 26 tracks, some as short as 7 seconds others around 3 minutes.

Sounds fine on iTunes , it plays one after another. But on my iPod sound with "cuts" it puts a small blank betwen tracks   It sound like is interrupted.

The rest of the music sound fine.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Pascalin. Found this.

"In response to the iPod user suffering from gaps in what should be continuous music, the answer lies in the Join CD Tracks Feature in iTunes. To fix the problem he'll need to re-import the tracks from the CD using Join CD Tracks, found in the Advanced menu, which tells iTunes to treat the multiple tracks as a single track. Once iTunes has it straight, then the iPod will too the next time it's synchronized, and the gaps will go away."

Once bought and downloaded fomr the iTMS, you shuld not have to buy them again to manipulate them with iTunes.

Maybe you can only do it from a CD?
