Burning (Completely!) Gapless Audio CDs

This tutorial works with Foobar 2000, a freeware application listed. Although there is an option in most burning sotware, there is still a noticeable pause between songs. This causes problems when creating live concert cds and certain electronic (trance, drums and bass, etc) albums.

First, download and install

http://www.foobar2000.org/
, including the Foobar 2000 burn plugin.

After downloading the plugin, unzip the file and locate "foo_burninate.dll".

Place this file in C:/Program Files/foobar2000/components or the alternative destination of Foobar 2000 installation.

Upon starting Foobar 2000, click the playlist (at the top); select and add the MP3s files for the CD.

Highlight all the MP3s and right click. Select Write audio CD.

The default Foobar2000 settings should write a completely gapless audio CD if properly installed and executed.
