Figure 4.5.1
Track Start Time Display
The ability to set Track start times in a playlist is very important because it allows you to change the
"gap" between songs on the CD. For instance, if Track 1 had a Start Time at 0:00:00.00 and its End Time
at 0:03:30.00, Track 2 could have a Start Time as early as 0:03:30.00 (no gap between songs) or any time
after that (0:03:32.00 would create a 2-second gap between the songs).
TIP: Pressing UP/YES and DOWN/NO simultaneously while in the Track start time field will cause the
length of the "gap" between Tracks to be set to zero.

To view a Track’s end time in the playlist, move the cursor to the Playlist Edit Page Field and press the
UP/YES or DOWN/NO buttons until the characters "En" are displayed. Figure 4.5.2 illustrates how the
display will look when indicating Track end time.
Figure 4.5.2
Track End Time Display.
A Track’s end time is not editable in this display. A Track’s end time is determined by three factors: the
Track’s start time, the Track’s sample rate, and the number of samples recorded. End time of a Track
will be affected by a Track Crop; see
Section 4.8: Editing a Track for more detail.
