[edit] DVD and SACD

Can pregaps exist on DVD and SACD? 203.26.37.35 02:27, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think there is that I've heard of, although people do hide things in other ways on DVDs such as the Troy DVD which contained a comical short linked from part of the horse's neck on the menu. Chappy84 11:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Albums

Should we perhaps make a seperate page out of the list of albums with hidden tracks, since it could easily be twice as long. For instance, Melt Banana has a 0th track on "Charlie": a cover of "Neat, neat, neat" by The Damned. 86.88.102.93 18:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

There is a general list of albums containing hidden tracks at: List of albums containing a hidden track. I created this list as I thought there should be one of albums containing this specific type of hidden track. I feel the page without this list is rather short so I think it should stay here. In my opinion it would be a bit pointless to move it to another page. Chappy84 11:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recording Pregaps

Is there anyway of recording pregap tracks through a computer? (eg. ripping) Ps2aphex 12:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

See the computer section at the bottom of the page. There are current ways using Linux, other ways would have to be searched on the net, although since EAC supports extraction of pre-gap on windows and supports writing on some cd-r drives it may support burning of a pre-gap track.

[edit] Step-by-step play instructions?

Is there anyone who can elaborate on the process of getting to the pregap for playback? Also, can this be done in a portable cd player with the safety switch disabled? After a "normal" cd has initialized, and swapping the disk so that the data from the pregap appears where the player believes track 1 is.

[edit] To merge, or not

Let's do this correctly, without just deleting info wholesale. Should the list be MERGED into List of albums containing a hidden track, or should it stay here (or possibly, have its own page). For starters, not all albums are on hidden track page, so killing things here isn't the best option bluntly like that. I do, however, see nothing wrong with merging it into there, provided the fact that these are pregap hiddens is not lost. A seperate list would work too, considering the size it's getting toward. I would also note that that page links to this one in its intro. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 17:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I jumped a little too quickly, I'm sorry. I had assumed that list already included all of those. Perhaps then just a split of this section into its own page then would be best? —Cliffb 18:04, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HTOA

I suggest that a redirect page be made for HTOA/htoa (hidden track one audio) to here since one does not exist yet --TeknoJnky (talk) 17:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
