Gapless playback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gapless playback is natural for compact discs or for gramophone records, but is not always available with compressed digital audio. The Trekstor Vibez, due for release in November 2006, is based on the same firmware as the Karma and is expected to support gapless playback. While this method results in gapless playback within the collection of tracks with consecutive playback, it can be unwieldy due to the possibly large size of the resulting compressed file. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gapless_playback   (1334 words)

Kirkville: What is Gapless Playback on the iPod and in iTunes? (Update)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) While those who know what gapless playback means embraced this with a loud "Huzzah!", others are scratching their heads trying to figure out what this means. Gapless playback is simply the ability for the iPod to play music with no artificial gaps between tracks. When I wrote about gapless playback here about a year ago, I offered a workaround that would allow classical music fans to rip their music so it could be gapless. www.mcelhearn.com /article.php?story=20060914102437823&mode=print   (677 words)

Science Fair Projects - Gapless playback Most lossy audio compression schemes involve a frequency/time domain transform, so the playtime of the audio data may not be equal before and after the compression. Most audio playback software will also close the audio output stream when switching tracks, introduce gaps or making existing gaps larger. If the compression method supports gapless playback, the software properly decodes the audio data and metadata, the next track is buffered and ready to play, and the output stream remains open between tracks, optimal gapless audio is achieved. www.all-science-fair-projects.com /science_fair_projects_encyclopedia/Gapless_playback   (739 words)

musikForums / Gapless Playback Gapless playback is really an important feature for me too, and a player without it is unusable for me... Gapless playback is an idea I've been kicking around for some time. why is it that a crossfader is possible but gapless playback is not, even seting the crosfader to 0.01 does not play without a slight pause, eventhough the tracks are ment to be overlapped. www.musikcube.com /punbb/viewtopic.php?id=89   (1704 words)

broadband help » Forums » Tech and Talk » All things Macintosh » iPod *Gapless Playback? LOL you dont need a new iPod just to get gapless playback, the feature is backwards compatible with the 5g and so is the fast scrolling bigger letter thing...just not the new search option, that'll be going to the 6g iPod. The original mastering shouldn't be an issue - gapless playback is (well, it should be) based on an algorithm to strip padding from the last audio frame past the end of the track (and not add the CD-standard 2 seconds of silence). Gapless has been available on iPods if you use 3rd party software, and is implemented in a similar way. www.dslreports.com /forum/remark,16893519   (1445 words)

MP3 players: Buyer Beware Samsung have also released a "gapless" firmware for one of their players recently but at least some reports say it isn't quite gapless either (though I don't know if the files used were properly encoded etc., so there may still be hope there). Gapless playback is simply about not inserting any extra gap that shouldn't be there, so that tracks which flow together on a CD still do so, without any pause or click, when played on a computer or DAP. The irony is that you may be better using MP3 for gapless playback, which seems perfect on the Karma in all situations, unless you have a problem with your CD ripper, but that's another webpage entirely... www.pretentiousname.com /mp3players   (7381 words)

Gapless - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase Gapless playback is the seamless playback of sequential audio tracks in digital audio formats. Another alternative is to ignore track boundaries, encoding a single collection of tracks as a single compressed file, relying on cuesheets (or something similar) for navigation. While this method results in gapless playback within the collection of tracks, it can be unwieldy due to the possibly large size of the resulting compressed file. wiki.hydrogenaudio.org /index.php?title=Gapless   (936 words)

Kirkville - What is Gapless Playback on the iPod and in iTunes? (Update) They say that in iTunes 7.x, gapless playback is always on, and the flag simply tells iTunes to override the Crossfade setting for tracks where the gapless flag has been manually set to "yes". The album setting, "Gapless album", is just a shortcut to mark all its tracks as gapless, so you don't have to set each track one by one. There are no breaks within each half (and never have been, even before gapless playback on the iPod), and now adding gapless playback between the halves would make no sense (haven't tested this yet to see iPod treats it, will do so later). www.mcelhearn.com /article.php?story=20060914102437823   (1914 words)

I stopped trusting Apple | Ask MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Gapless playback on the iPod would require a software update for the iPod, which hasn't come along yet. So the gapless play is not working when I listen to Abbey Road on my 5G iPod, although if I play the songs off the iPod through iTunes it works. Along with gapless playback, there also was a software update announced/implied that applies to 5G and newer iPods. ask.metafilter.com /mefi/46387   (1696 words)

The (old) wonder of gapless playback « Quantum Thinking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Gapless playback isn’t some new invention that’s taking the world by storm. There are a few reasons why it’s taken time to implement gapless playback to digital audio. Since each digital audio track is a separate data file it used to take a playback program at least a second to load the next track. smarandayal.com /2006/09/21/the-old-wonder-of-gapless-playback   (748 words)

Gapless playback - WHEN?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) Gapless playback is not a long standing issue, but a long standing feature request important to just a small number of users (although not a reliable opinion gauge, look at the poll). Although I do sorely miss gapless playback in Meedio, it's not a showstopper for me. Meedio Essentials is maturing rather nicely, and since the list of bugs is shrinking, eventually more time can be spent on adding this feature into Meedio. There are only 3 things lacking in my opinion: gapless playback, a proper video playlist (one you can access without having to start a video to begin with), and unicode support. www.meedio.com /forum/about25029-30.html   (2026 words)

Is the A2 ever going to support gapless playback? - iAudiophile.net Forums First of all it is true gapless (whatever that means for real ;)) You don't have to convert your music at all, and itunes doesn't alter the files in any way, there's no id3tag or so that's changes through that. gapless playback) that is crying out on this player isn't going to happen. gapless playback would relly be cool but it is highly unprobable we'll get it in the future for our A2. www.iaudiophile.net /forums/showthread.php?p=101566#post101566   (619 words)

Alpha Blog - alpha.cnet.com So, in addition to the boost in capacity, the new Nano is all about improvement: improved durability, sleekness, and battery; some wish-list features such as gapless playback; and of course, an array of color choices. Gapless playback is probably one of the most requested features in any MP3 player. For me personally, the gapless playback and better battery life make the iPod the most attractive one to date, and it's certainly a better value than the similarly priced but much smaller 8GB Nano. www.cnet.com /4532-10921_1-0-2.html?keywords=Apple   (3612 words)

Why can't iPods crossfade? | Ask MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) For gapless playback, it's done by checking for the exact length of the current song, stopping its playback at that exact moment, and playing the next song immediately, keeping the buffer full. Seeing as reliable music playback is the core function of the iPod*, messing about with it at this point would require a much more significant motivation, since emulating the old behaviour in a new implementation can be very hard to do 100%. If you're listening to an album that requires gapless playback (e.g., a symphony or DJ mix) I suggest using a program such as Mp3Wrap to concatenate the tracks into a single file without re-encoding. ask.metafilter.com /mefi/20800   (1113 words)

Riovolution.com Forums -> Interesting information about gapless MP3 playback on HA It contains technical info about the gapless playback method that foobar2000 uses and samples that can be used to test gapless playback. We haven't put the effort in there, because the playback feature has only ever been intended for previewing the music to go on a portable: we aren't expecting anyone to use it as their principal music-playing application. Sorry for bugging you about it like that, but as I mentioned before, gapless playback is the single most important feature I'm missing in hardware players, and I've been waiting for it for a long time now. forums-riovolution.com /index.php?showtopic=569&st=0   (556 words)

Gapless playback now on iPods - MINI2 I know gapless playback of MP3s has been a sore subject on here in the past... I can vouch for the gapless playback in iTunes, and it is far better than the old cross-fade way of doing it. So, with crossfade on and the gapless album switch not set, it will crossfade between tracks on the album, which is not what you want for a "gapless" album. mini2.com /forum/interior-ice/126130-gapless-playback-now-ipods.html   (749 words)

Gapless Playback for Apple iPod Petition We, the undersigned, are requesting that gapless playback be integrated into the iPod via a firmware upgrade in the near future.

dbpowerAMP - Gapless playback Absolute gap less playback of mp3 live tracks (or tracks that where crossfaded on the original CD) obviously still is a problem. the problem isn't the mp3 format: the playback will never be perfect when there is a jump between different files, so the problem will occur in every format and player that is used. there are players that support gapless playback using a pre-track buffer, wich works better then playing the next song a bit earlier. forum.dbpoweramp.com /showthread.php?t=5420   (1151 words)

» The iPod’s missing feature: gapless playback | The Apple Core | ZDNet.com Gapless playback is simply the ability to playback several tracks with no pause between them.

Gapless playback on an iPod mini? - MacNN Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) I updated my sister's iPod the other day to what iTunes says is the latest firmware, 1.4.1, but there is no gapless playback between tracks when listening to the iPod. The issue can't be the mp3s themselves as the ones in particular (from Abbey Road) have had gapless album selected in their ID3 tags. Is gapless playback limited to 5th generation iPods and above, or is there someway to get this running on a mini? forums.macnn.com /103/ipod/311703/gapless-playback-on-an-ipod-mini   (264 words)

» Best iTunes 7 feature: gapless playback | The Apple Core | ZDNet.com One gapless workaround was to rip your CDs into a single long AIFF then load that onto your iPod, but the disadvantage is that you lose individual tracks’ ID3 tags. The best part is that gapless playback isn’t just for music purchased from the iTunes Store, when you first launch iTunes 7 it scans your library for music that shouldn’t have gaps and just makes it so. I’m not sure what the algorithm is for detecting gapless songs (maybe it searches for songs that don’t fade to silence at the beginning or end) but I know that I like it. blogs.zdnet.com /Apple/index.php?p=286   (671 words)
