How do I record a CD with no pause / space between the songs? I use windows media player. Any suggestions?

   This is from homerecording.com

   The normal setting on most CD burning software gives you a 2-second gap between tracks when you’re burning in "normal mode" (track-at-a-time, or track-at-once).

   If you burn "disc-at-once", you will not get any added gaps between the tracks, so if you want time between the tracks you have to add your own silence before and after.

   You will always get track markers whenever you have separate tracks identified in the software, so that you can jump directly to any track you wish.

   As a corollary of the above, if you want an uninterrupted 55-minute dance mix, but still want to have track markers between tracks, you have to split the music into separate WAV files, not add any silence to them, put them into your CD layout as separate tracks, and burn in "disc-at-once" mode.

   Usually there is no space in between the songs.
   If there is that just means that the track has about five seconds of mute on it. Most cds have that.
   Otherwise use another program.

   You would have to load all the songs into a sound editor program, delete the blank pauses, and save the whole thing as one file. Then you can burn it on to the CD and all the songs would play as one song. There is no good reason for doing this, however, because you destroy your ability to skip to the next song, shuffle the songs, play a particular one you like, and so on.
