I had a conversation with an engineer recently who was setting up a 2 disc CD set and he was telling me that he could use an old version of Digi's Masterlist (running on OS9) so that it could start the 2nd disc in the set with a track # higher than 1 (i.e. the 1st disc had 11 tracks - so he was setting up the 2nd discs toc to display track 12 as its first track).  Does anyone know of any other software out there that does this?  (I don't think any of the stuff I have - SAWStudio w/JMS CSG, Nero 6, Sonic Solutions Classic 5.4, Sony CDA5 can do it)
And is it within Red Book spec?

Best regards,
Steve Berson

Is this possible?  Is there a CD out there that doesn't start with one?  

I wonder...

Made me wonder as well!  Europadisk had an inquiry a few years back to set this same kind of thing up for someone and I distinctly remember Don Grossinger - who definitely knows his Sonic - telling me that it couldn't do it.  I think the disc is destined for our plant so I'm very curious to see the Eclipse report on this one to see whether this toc will transfer correctly to replicated discs.

I've done it a couple times. It IS in the red book spec but only MLCD could ever do it on the Mac. I just looked and Samplitude also has an entry for setting the first track number.

My understanding is that playing one is a great way to crash a lot of computers.

Ahh.  

So possible, but not a great idea.  Or a new IP technic, if it only plays on a CDP-101!

Not the strangest request that I've heard, but I can't understand why anyone would want to do it that way. Most two sided media like vinyl albums and cassettes, numbered the songs from 1, per side, but I've seen sides 1-2 on one record and sides 3-4 on the other one, but never individual song numbering spanning different units.

This should be possible with anything that understands .cue files properly (like CDRWin and possibly Nero). I remember this being possible so maybe I tried it in the dim and distant past but I don't remember whether it worked.

I even have a vague memory that this was in the spec specifically so that it could be used with multi disc sets.

Cheers.

James.

Thanks James - I think I'll edit a .cue file to start at a higher track number today and see how well the burnt master works.

I've done it a couple of times with masterlist. It was a sample CD or something like that. They already printed the artwork for a double CD and therefore wanted the 2nd CD to continue with the numbering. seemed to work fine in everything I played it in.
