Thanks.  From searching the web, I think it is more often called a 
"pre-gap" (rather than "pregap" - which matters when searching) and it is 
part of an "enhanced CD format" (developed in 1994) that won't work on all 
CD players.  But there wasn't a lot of info on "pre-gaps" and most of it 
goes back to the mid-1990s, and this web page indicates that Microsoft 
stopped supporting it in 1995:

So I'm still hoping that Michael or someone can direct me to a better 
resource on this.

Thanks!

Mike
