"Click" at beginning of each track

[Frank N]

Hi, everyone -

I just got RecordNow9 Premier and burned my first CD. I have done a lot of hardware (Pioneer) burning, but this is my first software music CD burn.

 

I burned 20 tracks. All tracks begin with at least 0.25 sec. silence and end with 8 sec. of silence. The CD that I burned, when I play it on a CD player, has a "click" at the very beginning (first msec.) of every track. Other than that, the CD seems fine.

 

For every track, I Edited the track information (title, artist, album, etc.). I guess I should have made a disc image of my first attempt so as not to waste a blank CD, but . . . .

 

Any ideas on why a "click" got burned into each track? And how to avoid that in the future?

Don't know about the 'click', but Windows Media Player has NEVER read CD TEXT. When you insert a commercial disc, WMP accesses the internet to get the track information. NOT from the disc.

 

To read CD TEXT, you will need a software or hardware CD player that actually reads it.

If you rip a track back to your hard drive and look at it in sound editor, does the click show up?

Here is some more info about what is happening (or not happening) with my first CD burning experience with RecordNow 9 Premier.

 

The "click" appears on every playback devise that I have tried - 4 different types (not brands - types). Also, the Title appears as "Track 1" or "Trk 1" on all devises. I Edited all track information when putting this CD together in the program. So I had an actual Title, and Artist and Genre. (Artist and Genre come up as "Unknown" with Windows Media Player (latest version). So, none of the track information was actually changed when the CD was burned. So now I have 2 questions:

1. What is the "click" all about?

2. Why didn't the track information get changed?
