If you burn the disk in disk at once (DAO) mode, it will eliminate
the pause between the tracks. However, EZ-CD Creator still has a
small pause between the tracks (very small, but noticable if say
you are burning a mix cd). I recently switched to CDRwin (I forget
the url, its by Goldenhawk Technologies) for burning audio (not
data though) and I use Nero burning rom (www.ahead.de) for
burning data. With nero you can set the length between tracks
and works pretty good. CDRwin I select the tracks and let it go
and there is no gap between the tracks. Both CDRwin and Nero
support CD-Text if your CDR does. Both software programs also
have excellent support of CDR drives.

Both programs are shareware, I think CDRwin will only burn at 1X
and Nero will let you use the software for 30 days.
