There is something that bugged me for years now but I did not find a sulotion yet: If you convert live CD live tracks to mp3 they will give you a couple of ms silence at the beginning and at the end of the track. Therefore on playback you get little "dropouts" from track to track. That is expecially ugly on live recordings (I am not talking about the usual behaviour of mp3 players of not being able to really play tracks 100% back to back). That is visible if you cut and past the mp3 tracks back together (I use Wavelab to do this which usually works 100% flawless). If you manually delete the silence it cames right back as soon as you reconvert and safe the files. ( used both Lame and Frauenhofer decoders. No difference.
My workaround in the past was to convert the whole live cd as one track - but there must be a better solution. I also wrote my own VB program using 2 Windows Media Players to play tracks 100& back to back. That works fine in all other cases, bacause you don't recognize the couple of ms "dropouts". On a live recording you still can hear it (at least it bothers me).
Any ideas from a professional? :-)
