How to make my 32 second audio file fill a cd.

clairibel

Hi,

I have a 32 second audio sound that i need to repeat over and over to fill a cd and i have googled but i'm not coming up with any easy explanations and finding it to articulate what i want to do exactly.

Can someone direct me please towards a easy way.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

You may run into problems adding it many times as I think there is an upper limit on the number of tracks that can be burned onto Audio CD. Given an audio CD holds 74-80 minutes, you'd need to add the 32 second track 128-160 times. Also, most adio CD's introduce a 2 second gap between tracks (although some programs let you set this to 0 seconds)

If you want to make one long track, try using a free audio editor such as Audacity. Load your 32 second track in and then copy and paste it until it's around 74 minutes, save it as .wav and then use a cd burning program (such as the free cd burner xp suggested above) to burn it as an audio cd.

I can do this with Linux using the cat command.
So it should be possible to do it with Windows too using the command line.

Start with the 32 second track named 32.mp3
Then:-
cat 32.mp3 32.mp3 > 64.mp3
cat 64.mp3 64.mp3 >128.mp3
cat 128.mp3 128.mp3 > 256.mp3
cat 256.mp3 256.mp3 > 512.mp3
cat 512.mp3 512.mp3 > 1024.mp3
cat 1024.mp3 1024.mp3 > 2048.mp3
cat 2048.mp3 2048.mp3 > 4096.mp3

This gives the track 4096.mp3 which is 4096 seconds duration. That's 68 minutes.:cool:

I second the Audacity suggestion, copy/pasting to build up the track - assuming the OP wants it all as one track.

What's it for, an annoying call centre message?

Thanks you have given me some options there, its for background noise, i work from home and want some real office like noise, its just to block out external noise like dogs etc, but the biggest i could find that sounded right was 32 secs worth
