I have recently been downloading live songs from different sources with the idea of making them into a "seamless" live album. So...I load the songs into Audacity, edit the transitions between the songs so as to make one continuous piece of music which I then convert to MP3 format and import into iTunes. So far, so good....on playback it all sounds fine with no issues.
However, I want to split the music back into separate tracks so in iTunes I go through the procedure of editing start/finish times, saving as AAC version, rinse/repeat, etc. That's when the problem occurs....when I play the album/playlist back the transition between the individual songs is clearly audible in the form of what I can only describe as a "pop". It's only a single sound but it is quite jarring and when it occurs every time the song changes it is enough to be annoying. The same happens on my iPod after the album/playlist has been synced onto it.
I am fairly sure it is nothing to do with using Audacity as the single MP3 track resulting from that doesn't have the issue: it's only after I split the file into separate songs in iTunes.
I have used this procedure in the past and don't recall having this problem. However, it seems to be a recurring problem now for some reason.
Any ideas as to how to overcome this would be very welcome!
