 | Quick question for anybody who knows out there. 
 I want to burn a long mixed audio CD, but also have track
 markers every now and then. Using Nero I have the option to
 either insert "New Index" or "Split" the track. If I want
 the CD to play continuously without noticeable pauses, which
 should I choose?

 | I think if you split the track it'll automatically insert two second pauses between tracks. If it does then you need
 to change the properties on each track so that it's at 0
 seconds. Bear in mind that some CD players are shit and
 pause between tracks anyway.

 | I was wondering if it might pause between tracks anyway, even if I set the pause to 0. That's why I was curious about
 the "new index" feature, although the help says that not all
 CD players support it.

 | I haven't found it to. I haven't used the index feature yet so I can't help there. Sorrry. Could you test on a CD-RW the
 results?

 | Hmm, yes I could try that and play it in my PC (stereo doesn't like CD-RWs). Although discs are so cheap anyway...
 
 Cheers giginger./

 | while we're at it: how do i get to let it burn better. thing is burnt a load of cd's with nero that were pretty
 crappy. probably because done too fast, this other program i
 used burnt much slower by itself even when set to 48 speed.
 i think nero did something similar but faster, or maybe it
 has to do with that it writes the the information to the
 computers memory first because i make this playlist ( in
 which i remove all the 2 seconds manually). i got the latest
 shareware nero off internet.

 | I think that index points are like markers within a track, not actual track start/stop points. If you split the track,
 then set the pregap to zero and burn with disc-at-once it
 should do what you want.
 
 I split up my mixes with Goldwave into the tracks I wanted
 and tried burning with disc-at-once and 0 pregap in nero
 and, though it should have worked, it left a tiny click
 between some of the tracks. I even tried building a .img
 file so the file was one continuous block and got the same
 problem. I tried to do exactly the same thing with CDRWin
 and it worked perfectly. And it does it perfectly all the
 time.
 
 Maybe you'll be ok though with Nero since you're starting
 from on file and just adding track points.
 
 Give it a go! CDRs aren't expensive
