Re: Pauses...some answers from Hydrogen Audio

Tom...some more info on your curious query...

Sometimes you find your answers to questions by indirection. Ask yourself what you would do if you had to copy your classical CD?

This same question comes up with ripping/copying CDs for backup purposes many people will elect to remove the silence deliberately and not make a perfect clone. The forums at HydrogenAudio get into the quirks and operational aspects of burning software. However, it seems the best answer to your "classical music" question is that from this post on "gaps" and "cues".

To provide for cueing ability most CD's have a track of silence while some classical CD's will embed music in this cueing track. It appears that some DVD players assume that silence will be in this track and use this track to do some housekeeping and cause silence...thus messing up classical CD which do not encode silence but music to give the impression of continuous uninterrupted playback. A question best asked of Toshiba.

Do a search on this forum with the words "+cue" and "+gap" yourself. There are many experts on this very topic, there.

cheers,
