I recently bought a Peter, Paul and Mary album from Amazon. When I write to a disk, on at least one track, or perhaps two, CD Creator is doubling the length of the track by adding silence at the end. As a result, I cannot fit all of the tracks on the CD, and must manually move to the next track when the music on the affected track ends.

This happened on the two disks I have created so far. If I play them within Media Player, the tracks are fine. If I write a disk with the MS cd writer, also there is no problem, which I could use, but then I cannot prepare and print a booklet for the jewel case.

Is there a fix for this?

When you say you bought the album from Amazon, did you buy a physical CD/LP, or a download?  And if it's a download, then I presume they're .MP3 files?  

I'd guess something in the encoding of the affected tracks is confusing ECD&DVD Creator.  You could probably convert the tracks to .WAV files, and then write them to CD without any problems.  I never installed ECDC 6, so I don't know what tools it has for converting the tracks, but I'd be quite sure you could use WinAmp to convert them.  Under Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Output, select the Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in.  Then play the tracks, and tell it where to write the tracks on your hard drive, then use the .WAV files for your Audio CD in ECDC 6.

Hope that helps!
