I could swear that I read how do to this, but I can’t dig anything up on it at the moment. There’s supposed to be a way that you can tie two or more tracks together in iTunes so that if iTunes is in shuffle mode, it’ll play the tracks in the correct sequence before randomly grabbing the next track to play. Anybody know what the dealio is?
I Tunes…Preferences…Advanced…Burning.
You have a choice of time between songs from zero to five seconds. I think if you choose zero, the pod will think it is the same song, there will be no pause.
Any help?
Seriously? This sort of flies in the face of convention, as the only thing this option is supposed to do is set the silence gap between songs when burning to CD. I don’t think it has anything to do with sequencing and should only have any effect at all when burning.
Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to the OP, as I didn’t know such a thing was possible. Perhaps it has something to do with Party Shuffle?
All my iTine tracks are from my CDs. I’ve found that you can link tracks together when you are first downloading them from the CD (Advanced==>Join CD Tracks), but not once it’s already been downloaded. And this has nothing to do with the space between tracks.
panace45 is correct, the “join tracks” command only applies during ripping. It basically combines two or more consecutive tracks into a single track during the rip (it looks like only one song when it’s done – or at least it did when I last did it).
If you don’t mind the slight quality loss, you can do this post-CD by burning the two tracks you want to combine to a rewritable CD in the correct order, then re-importing the disc. (Or use a non-rewritable disk if you don’t mind the cost).
This trick is handy for classical pieces that occur in multiple movements – they often sound very strange played out of order.
