I know what small contributions I've made are based on the actualbeginning of audio and end audio. I don't include silence.]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:26:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6152&PID=29545&title=actual-time-definition#29545 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6152&PID=29542&title=actual-time-definition#29542 Author: Todd Ireland

Given that some CD tracks have many seconds worth of silence before and/or after the song which can artificially inflate a track's total run time, I'm sure hoping for accuracy purposes that everyone here is reporting their actual run time info based on the precise points when the first and last traces of an musical audio signal can be heard.

Forgot about vinyl / 45s and the second method is obvious for that, oops. lol]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2011 09:03:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6152&PID=29536&title=actual-time-definition#29536 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6152&PID=29535&title=actual-time-definition#29535 Author: Yah Shure

Another vote for method number two. It's the best way to ensure accuracy, particularly with vinyl fades.

When you guys are asking for actual times, which one do you prefer?

Is it, stick the cd in a player and look at the remaining track times?

Or is it look at the track in a digital editor, chop off the absolute silence then report the result?

I've been using the second method and wondered which was correct.

Thanks!
