Ok i legally download tracks then i mix them down to minidisc fading one track into another with no gaps once done i then can go back and put track markers for each track so i can directly accesss the track if i want to.

I do this as im doing karaoke mainly and in between looking for discs for each singer i can leave the mixes i have done for that week on a few minidiscs playing and know there will be no embarassing silences!
If i think that mix is not going down well or i get a request i can skip to the relevent tracks.

I would like to do this on CD not just on mini disc a continous (spelling?) mix but with track markers.
I know this is lazy rather than doing it there and then but with drunk ,loud people asking for karaoke tracks and others asking for music tracks at the same time it can be hectic and i like to be prepared.

Any help in software to use would be appreciated..Thanks

Most burners will allow you to opt for a choice (lengthwise) of gap, usually from 0-4/5 seconds. The track tags will still remain in place. There are so many different pieces of software that will do this that I won't steer you towards any in particular. They all do the job.

I would, however, remind you to be a little circumspect with your message(s). I think (I could be wrong) that you are transgressing the copying/altering rules for copyrighted material!

I don't think the fact that the material was legal when downloaded is going to cut much ice!

Maybe somebody with more knowledge on this subject than me will reply!!!!!

If you're altering the original format then licensing issues come into play.

If, for argument's sake, you downloaded legally to a standalone hard drive then played from that drive, there would be no change of format. If you download to a PC and the provider allows burning to CD as part of the purchase, then that's allowed since, to all intents and purposes, a downloaded and burnt-to-CD track is seen as equivalent to the same thing bought from a shop.

Transferring to minidisc is a change of format, the fact that you have paid for the material notwithstanding.

Illogical, really isn't it?

Yep and i thought there might be issues hence looking to burn to cd .I have nero 7 and although you have the option for no pause depending on the track there can be quite a bit of silence at the end especially on fade out tracks .
There are always legal issues
ar well i will just after do it the hard way

By burning 'disc at once' or similar wording, you won't get the gaps.

'Mixmeister fusion' will allow you to do that and burn it staight to CD It automatically assigns the track markers. you can get a free trial verion from their website.

I may add i am not sure about the legality issues
but I do know that 90% of the clubs in my area run off 'mixmeister' and they have had no problems.
