Dave, What I was trying to get at is that it is possible that the silence he is observing between tracks may be part of the player's logic and not actual silence within the MP3 files. There may not really be anything to trim. That was all I was trying to say. In some CD creators, the gap is inserted by the creator software, and the gap length can be changed or even eliminated, and in that case the gaps are not part of the audio files that make up the tracks, but I suspect that this all can vary with how the files are created, what software is used to create the files, and what is being used to play the files.
One concern I have is that some routines that eliminate silence can eliminate silence that is part of a recording that one may not wish to remove. Also, silence itself can be defined as a minimum value, and if one is not careful, one can loose pauses or very quiet passages, particularly on classical music, or one could loose part of a fade-out ending. As usual, things can get more complex than one might think. That is why I thought it might be worth trying to determin first if the gaps werebeing introduced by the player before trying to edit audio files.
