2 second gap with sound playback


Hi everyone and thanks for any help in advance.

I'm a newbie, having installed Mandrake 10.0 official on my pentium4 machine, and am having fun learning to use a new OS. I am burning my cd collection to disc (ogg), and can play back my collection with Xmms without any problems. However with all of the other media players I've tried, there is a gap of 1-2 seconds between each track. This is especially annoying with JuK.
I have tried unsuccesfully to configure the machine not to do this. I don't think that it has anything to do with the way I rip the cds as it doesn't happen with xmms. Any advice would be much appreciated.

----------------------------

On another note, the same problem occrs with k3b where I have tried to burn cds in dao but still have this wretched pause.

To clarify: are you burning your disk as a disk full of ogg files, or are you converting them to make it playable in a CD player as well?

If it's the former, I don't know... maybe try using ogg123 to listen?

If it's the latter, some burner programs automatically insert a gap of a few seconds between tracks (I don't know why)... many will have the option to turn this on or off. Xmms is probably intentionally skipping the gaps. To verify that this is what's happening, play the CD in a normal CD player (the gaps should happen there too).

Thank you - to clarify; I am trying to rip my cds to ogg and play them on my machine. The main problem I have is with listening to them on Juk without a pause between tracks.
I should probably have posted the problem with burning cds on K3b without a gap seperately.

I'll give ogg123 a go, but liked being able to use JuK to see the whole collection quickly. I just can't configure it.

Nick.
