Obviously, the problem with one large file is selecting tracks. And as
you say, it should 'just work'.


waves that was me, not JBG.

As explained briefly here ...

http://www.macfh.co.uk/JavaJive/Audi...storation.html

... the correct way to burn to CD a continuous album where the tracks
run into each other is:

!!! Use *.wav files, not *.mp3


? Why would you record to mp3 nowadays?!

!!! Ensure that either/both/all of the recording/wave editing/cd
burning software can split the *.wav file EXACTLY on the nearest CD
sector boundary to each track boundary.


Well yes, obviously, if you go through that faff. It's recorded as one
large file.

!!! Set the CD burning software NOT to insert silence between the
tracks.

This will leave a CD which any player properly meeting the
specification will in the normal way play continuously without
inserting silences between the tracks, but will also allow jumping to
a particular track.


OK, thanks, that's good to know. It's been a long time since I did it.

I seem to remember the same continuous-with-tracks effect could be
achieved in software like Audacity by inserting markers of some sort
into the single file. And that some how sorted itself out when burning
to CD?
