Ripping CDs to MP3

Can anyone of you help me? I bought the other day, the
latest Jean Michel Jarre CD, and went to copy it to my PC,
and the CD is one mix, as in the tracks all merge into each
other. But the problem I have is, now they are seperate
MP3s, there is a gap between each one when I play the whole
thing. Is there any software that can fix this?

that would depend on the player, wouldn't it?

I think some of the players have a "crossfade" function
where you can set time for crossfading, and if you set this
to one second, you'd definately be closer...

otherwise, you'd have to edit the files in a editor and
merge them and then export them all to a single file (which
means you can't jump tracks)...

if you're trying to burn them out to a cd again for using
that one instead of the one you bought, nero has an option
for "no space between tracks."

I'm using Windows Media Player. I know I know...but I like
it. I've only copied the CD onto the PC cos I find it easier
when I'm sat at the PC to just play the MP3s rather than
changing the CDs in the CD drive. I'm not putting back on
CD, cos when I use the disk, I'll use the original. Thanks
for your advice though.

use EAC and rip to a wav/cue format.
Encode the giant wave, then edit the cue file to say MP3
instead of WAV, and also change the filename from file.wav
to file.mp3

you should then be able to find .cue file players at
winamp.com which interpret the cue files for you

this is the best way to rip mixes

Actually, I've just re-ripped the disk with WMP10, and it
seems ok. Orginally the gap was not massive, but noticable,
maybe 1 second or so

I'd just a program called SimpleMP3 to rip the first copy

even using a gapless plugin, there are still going to be
strange wave artifacts in your files if you rip them as
separate tracks.
best bet is to play copycat with the rip groups and do
mp3/cue rips ;)
