What about hidden tracks?

There are two types of ways to make a hidden track on your CD master.

Mode 1: The first (and more difficult) is hiding the track in the discs header file which renders the song invisible to CD players. The only way to hear this song is to start playing the beginning of song one on the disc and then rewind or scroll backwards into the - (minus) region of song one. If you keep rewinding it will eventually get to the beginning of your hidden track. There is no extra charge for us to replicate this feature. CDman can not tech support or assist you in any way to author this feature as it falls outside the normal Red Book guidelines. If you include this feature on your master, please make a note on your order forms (Audio order forms section 13) as well as a note placed inside the jewel case for our mastering engineers;

Master contains hidden track in header file:

(hidden) Song ID#1 ,"Oh Baby" , start -3:05 , end - 0:02
Song ID#1 , "Sha La La" , start 0:00 , end 4:12

---------------

Mode 2: (easy) A hidden track can be as simple as leaving the credits off your artwork to act as a special bonus track. It can play normally with it's own ID point or it can be tagged onto the last song on the CD to make one long song. In any event, please make it obvious to us what you are trying to do. Having a song appear on your CD without visible credits on your liners notes or artwork is confusing and causes us to think something might be wrong with your artwork layouts. So please make notes on your order forms (Audio order forms section 13) as well as including additional notes with your master.

example of track listing notes:

Song ID#11 , "Moon in June" , start 35:17 , end 41:00
Song ID#12 , "This is the end" , start 41:02 , end 48:05 *

* note there is a 2 min. pause at 44:35. At 46:35 a non-credited track called "One more song" begins and will end at 48:05. The total duration of ID#12 is 06:03 which includes two songs.

Or-

Song ID#11 , "Moon in June" , start 35:17 , end 41:00
Song ID#12 , "This is the end" , start 41:02 , end 46:35
Song ID#13 , NOT CREDITED (hidden track) , start 46:35 , end 48:05.
