How Can I Ignore Track Gap When Ripping CDs

Post by torrid »

I am using MM 4.1.31.1919. I am attempting to rip a CD, in this case The Beatles Love soundtrack, so that there are no gaps between tracks when played back. When a CD is intended to not have gaps between the tracks it is unsettling for them to appear and they really hurt the listening experience. Others may have found this to be true on concert discs and the like.

I thought there was an option to allow "Side as One" ripping but I can't seem to find it.

Regards

Hi,
MM5 better handle track buffering and for MMW Enable crossfading -> Right click on player -> Setup output plugin and make crossfade time 0.5s and it should work.

Thanks for the reply, but I am looking for a ripping solution, not a playback approach. I say this because I use the PLEX app on Roku and PlexAMP on Android for playback. Ideally, the albums would playback without gaps regardless of the player I use. If the CD rips as a single file, I am fine with that. After more research that seems to be the only "universal" solution. So, is there a way to tell MM to ignore the tracks and just rip an image of the CD?

If there is another CD ripper that would solve my problem, I'd be willing to work with that too.

No, MediaMonkey can't Rip a CD as a single file.

Thanks for the simple answer. Are you aware of an application that will rip CDs as a single file? Ideally, this would be a FLAC file.
