    Negative track time/lead in time - how do I rip this?

    Do we need to do anything special to capture the recording in the negative time space before a track?

    For example, if a CD plays track 1 and then switches to track 2 and the time is negative 30 seconds on the CD player and that counts from -30 to 0 before the track actually starts counting up from 0, how does DBPowerAmp handle that negative time? Does it get included with the track? Are there options we can configure?

    (I am using R16.6.02)

    Time does not appear in the files, if it is a hidden track CD ripper should detect it and offer to add it.

      I just ripped a CD with a handful of tracks with pregaps.
      I wasn't prompted.

      I don't have a CD player handy to experiment with (Wish I did as I think I could experiment and figure this out without asking here)

      Assuming a line shows a pre-gap, does the pregap actually indicate time from the prior track? And if so does that data get added to the end of the prior track or to the beginning of the current track?
