Yes, but you are supposed to be able to eliminate the gaps by recording in DAO mode (disc-at-once), and I think the fiddle is that the track indicator is put into the previous track two seconds before the end. > When burning such a track it is quite feasable to combine several wave > files on the fly to fill that one track without any pause in between > those wav files.

Fair enough. I thought you were talking about the second level of audio index points, within the audio tracks. BTW when splitting wav files, Jake, it's important to make sure they're broken at 2352-byte boundaries so you don't get gaps between them.
