Feature request: the famous 2 sec pauses
Last modified: 2005-09-14 14:03:47 UTC
I would welcome if we could control the pauses in the compilation between the music files.
Would it suffice if there was a menu entry that would allow the compilation to include a 2 second pause between _all_ tracks?
I think yes. I think for most people it would be enough to be able to toggle the 2 sec pauses between all tracks on or off. As far as I know audio CDs were originally designed to include a 2 sec pause (also called "pre-gap") between every track. In track-at-once mode there will be these pauses. To have a 0 sec pre-gap you need to burn the cd in disk-at-once mode - this is useful when you'd like to make an audio cd containing continous music (music mixes for example). I don't know however if serpentine can burn in dao mode.
Serpentine uses nautilusburn as its backend to record audio-cd's. nautilusburn has the option to specify if we want to write in DAO or TAO mode. Currently serpentine is writing in TAO by default. The question is if in DAO the 2 seconds disappear, because in TAO we already know they don't. To change to DAO recording edit line 69 of file preferences.py to: self.__write_flags = nautilusburn.RECORDER_WRITE_BURNPROOF | nautilusburn.RECORDER_WRITE_DISC_AT_ONCE I don't know how fast I can test this, so if you beat me to it it will be great ;)
OK, I just test it and when you use DAO it's ommiting the 2 seconds. So I just need to enable it on the GUI.
Commited to SVN.
