The software I use for mastering CDs has 3 seconds as the default time
between tracks. Without thinking about it, the first few discs I did I
left it on the default...bad idea, especially when it was between works. I
now use 4 seconds between movements, index points but no silence at
movements played attacca and 6-8 seconds between works.
