full albums

[Explicit]

You know when you are downloading full albums and you unzip it with winrar or whatever, you open nero and burn the cd and when you are listening to the cd and when it gets down with the song and you hear part of the next song but it stops and then starts the song? How do you fix that so i can have a smooth ending and it can start up the next song? Sometimes it doesn't do that but sometimes it doesnt :<

if you downloaded it the way it is like in "zip" format i don't think you will be able to change it if its like one whole song file, thats why i never download an album as a single file. maybe if you find a program that would help to fix it but i have no idea.

Im not sure that all cd burners support this but there is a feature in nero from which you can cut out the gaps. Just look in the help file for it.

If that doesnt work then get a program called 'Albumwrap'. Look for it in google.

This will allow join together any mp3s you want, without gaps and allows you to unjoin them at a later date.

If the album is in one mp3 file, you are able to change it but its a pain.

I did that with a certain album, but to do so I had to go online, find out the length of every song, then from that find what time segment of the mp3 each song is in. Then I think once I had all those times I used nero to split them up. Worked out well though once all was done, I've now got all the songs in separate files.

As for a downloading a zip of a full album (I assume then that each track is already in its own mp3), I dont think theres much you can do without using some mp3 editing software to split/combine the different mp3's. Most likely the cause for the tracks being a bit off is an incompent person encoding it in the first place.

Use Cool Edit Pro you can cut those one track files into single songs or add silence or fade at the ends of your songs to get the effect you are looking for.Beware though its not a tool for begginers it can be a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of things its pretty simple to figure out.


Or you might try to find files that end in ALBW and use a tool called Album Wrap Extractor.If its a legit ALBW file all your songs will extract as single songs.

the feature in nero cuts out the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, but it wont help if the start of the next song is on the track.

Albumwrap sounds like a good tool for this then. Simply combine all the mp3's, then do what I did to split the full album mp3 I got (go find the track times and split like that)

sorry to bring this topic up but i recently started using soulseek to find full albums and still at the end of the song..the start of the next song is on that track. I use nero to burn and was wondering if nero causes this or just the fault of the ripper?

[Pebbles100]

I've had somthing similar to that happen before...I use Nero also. I just inserted the splits where I wanted. It's kind of a pain, but it worked. Did the mp3 album come with splits in it already, or is it just 1 track? When it happened to me, the album sounded normal when I played the mp3 on the computer, but when I copied it onto a cd, it messed up so bad. I dunno if this is the same prob or not...

The ripper screwed up.

It seems like so many albums are badly ripped, and the ripper never even listens to the finished product.

In my experience, I have found the best quality albums on edonkey, the worst on Fasttrack

I also have a few instrumental albums in which the studio engineers faded the tracks together, so there really is no way to separate them without parts of the ajoining tracks attached.
