NOT GAPLESS - Small gap between 2 titles belonging together

Hi,
I found another minor issue. I ripped a CD without gaps between tracks (any live CD will have the same issue). I used EAC to extract the files into the WAV format. I have written the tracks in SP mode to MD.

When playing the MD there now is a small gap between the tracks. Nothing critical, the gap is very short, but hearable.

Thanks for the fast answer. I can't tell for sure for Sonic Stage, but I'm 100% sure that NetMD Simple Burner supports gapless recording (of course only in LP2 / LP4). This was the main feature why I started using minidisc at a very late point of time.

And you're right: best way would be to record the disc at once and set the cuepoints later. But since we don't know how to do this through NetMD interface it doesn't help much.

Nevertheless - thanks for your effort!

Some update on this. I tried go-netmd-cli with my Sharp NetMD device. Transfering the tracks in sp mode gives a small gap between the titles. Using lp2 mode (where the sharp encodes the titles on the fly) is completely gapless.
