Question: When reading audio data I notice that some songs are missing the start of a track -- perhaps half a second. This is not noticeable with some songs, but is very annoying with others.
Answer: The problem lies with your CD-ROM drive or CD-burner. Some CD-burners (e.g. Yamaha CDR 100/102 and Philips CDD 2600) start reading audio data in the wrong place if the pregap of the first track has an unusually high value. You can recognize this if the first track does not being at block 0, but, for example, block 33. Drives which exhibit this problem start reading the first block too late (and will continue reading a little beyond the last block).
You can get round this problem by modifying the start block for audio data in the MakeCD settings. Enter the number of the first block of the first track on the audio CD and you should get the full song. So, if the first track starts at block 32, enter 32.
Please bear in mind that this change will only affect those tracks that you select after changing the setting. If you have already selected the tracks, you need to select them all over again, since the block numbers are automatically corrected when choosing the tracks and not when the tracks are first read.
