My missus always fills them up.  Even if that means putting on a song
that gets cut off at the lead off.  I *hate* that.  I'd rather have one
or two minutes of silence.

It was a while ago (more than four years), and I don't recall the name
of the software, but it had a habit of stopping the recording part way
through tracks that had a high dynamic range.  That is, lots of quiet
bits.  Probably not a major problem with contemporary music, although
some will suffer, but it was a right royal PITA with classical music.
