Not sure it's compression that's the problem. Compression's is a way to bring up the total volume of a musical track so that the low and high volume levels are closer together. If you're referring to the bit rate then I think you need to stick with 16-bit and 44.1kHz sample rate to burn an audio CD correctly.

When i burn a c d in Windows Media Player, there some songs that are connected to the next track, or live recordings, and the music goes blank for a second, then comes back. I hope to find if the compression is the problem, and what the compression number should be. I hope to hear from someone soon. Doug Brown dougstir@xxxxxxx
