i believe it is a bit more complex. i cut my wav so that end of one 
track was exactly conected to beggining of next track, i did not change 
the end or begining of the tracks, they just connect perfectly. Still I 
got this "jump" in some players, it was not 2 secs long btw. i burned it 
in K3b. But now with Rezound using cues and burning from rezound itself 
it works fine. Looks like by default programs insert some kind of fade 
in/out in tracks to make sure it starts/end on zero. well... this is my 
explanation of it, but i dont really know.
