Some of the cd burning programs in ports put a little "tick" at the beginning of the cut if you use wave files. This is apparently the wave header getting detected as audio on the playback. What you really want is raw 44100 pcm files, which you can easily get from 'sox' with 'sox inputfile.wav outputfile.raw'. Then use these to make your cd with no 'ticks'. You do this, of course, after using xmms or lame or whatever to make the .wav files. If you compare the .wav and the .raw files, you will see that 44 bytes are missing..that's the 'tick'. You may not even care about this, but it was making me crazier. BTW 'audacity' will input wavs, raw and mp3 and output your choice and let you edit them to boot. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
