He stated that already

Maybe if you can describe exactly what is the problem with your results, it would be easier to help

If nobody else wants to do it, I can.

Just count the characters. Every double character is 1 byte.

In 1 line you have 16 double-characters, like this for example:

12 54 61 21 54 31 51 32   21 21 54 87 15 24 13 14

16 bytes

if you have 21 lines of those, it's 16x21 = 336 bytes

beware that there are cases where you have 20 lines + 1/2 line,
meaning that the last line has 8 zeroes (00) in the end

in that case you count 16x20 + 8 = 328

divide by four to get the samples: 336/4 = 84 samples
328/4 = 82 samples

Using Append Gaps to Next Track the gap is written in the beginning of the track.

This might look the most "natural" way to store the gaps, but actually its very odd. Usually the gaps are silences, so it's a bit weird for a track to start with a silence, instead of ending with it.

Also, when you use the seek button in any standalone player, for, say, Track 3, it will begin playing the Track 3 - index 01 (aka 3rd song), not it's 00 index! The only way for you to listen to the 3 secs pregap is to listen all the way from Track 2. The player will play Track 2 - index 01, then the pregap. When the pregap is playing, the player will display negative seconds: -0:03, -0:02, then -0:01).

So, if the only way to listen this gap is by playing track 2 until the end, it makes sense to say that the 3s pregap actually belongs to the 2nd track, not the 3rd! (even if in the actual CD layout the 3s gap is called "track 3 - index 00").

ROFL ghost ...
I also wondered what is going on here and had a few funny lines in mind to reply, but I didn't want to do it for some reason. and you nailed it for me ..

haha yeah, this idea of dumping has been invented before, iR0b0t might remember

That exists already, but only in Java form as far as I know. And I am not sure whether anyone has Java installed. I don't. I hate Java

agreed on this. I can code it if nobody knows how to do it
