Applications :: How To Create A Perfect Audio Cd Copy

I am a music freak so, as many of you may understand, I spent a lot of time with cds, vinyls, itunes and all the beautiful things involving these stuff.

The problem is that:

I want to create a perfect copy of my cds. I use XLD and I encode my cds into .WAV �a single .WAV file with it's .CUE. However, when I burn these .WAV files to an audio cd, there is a tiny problem. When I switch to the next song �for example from track 1 to track 2 or from 3 to 4 etc� track 2 starts a second �lets say� after it should be (like in the original cd). However, if you hear the whole cd, it sounds perfectly �there are no stops between songs etc.

The procedure I follow is this:

1. Open XLD

2. Encode the cd into .WAV as a single file with .CUE

3. Open .CUE file with text edit, and I change the �FILE "01 Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.wav" WAVE� to �FILE "01 Unknown Artist - Unknown Title.bin" BINARY�

4. Open Toast

5. I drag the .CUE file there

6. Burn
