Hi folks, I'm batch-ripping and encoding a lot of my CD collection to put on my mp3 player. I've noticed that a number of CDs contain an apparently spurious first track that's apparently very short (about a tenth of a second) and contains no audible signal. What the heck is the point of this track? e.g. $ sndfile-info track00.cdda.wav Version : libsndfile-1.0.11 ======================================== File : track00.cdda.wav Length : 23564 RIFF : 23556 WAVE fmt : 16 Format : 0x1 => WAVE_FORMAT_PCM Channels : 2 Sample Rate : 44100 Block Align : 4 Bit Width : 16 Bytes/sec : 176400 data : 23520 End ---------------------------------------- Sample Rate : 44100 Frames : 5880 Channels : 2 Format : 0x00010002 Sections : 1 Seekable : TRUE Duration : 00:00:00.133 Signal Max : 0 (-inf dB) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
