How do I put “hidden tracks” and negative indices on audio CDs?
With a little searching you can find an audio CD that will cause your CD player to show a negative track time when one track finishes and the next begins. The negative sections are usually filled with silence, but some rare discs will have material in them. If you seek directly to the track, you don’t see (or hear) the negative-time section. The trick here is also described in section (3-14). You can specify the start position of an audio track anywhere within the track. The start position is at time index 00:00 (in minutes and seconds, MM:SS), so the music before the start point is usually displayed with negative time values. When you seek directly to a track, the player jumps to time index 00:00, but when you play through from a previous track you hear the entire track. When using CDRWIN-style cue sheets, the actual start of the track is at “index 00”, and the place where the player seeks to is “index 01”. The The distance between the indices is called the pre-gap.

The trick here is also described in section (3-14). The start position of an audio track listed in the TOC (Table of Contents) doesn’t have to point to the actual start of the track. When using CDRWIN-style cue sheets, the actual start of the track is at “index 00”, and the place where the player seeks to is “index 01”. The distance between the actual start of the track and the TOC-specified start is called the pre-gap. The Red Book standard requires that index 01 in track 01 be at least two seconds (150 sectors) from the start of the CD. You can specify additional index markers, but most CD players will simply ignore them. Index 01 is the only val
