I'm perfectly aware of how to use the --nogap switch and my test files are available for anyone to examine. I respectfully suggest that you do so before accusing me of incompetence. I don't like the --nogap hack either, but it's the only way to squeeze gaplessness from the usual sort of idiot player that can't make file transitions without a humongous delay. Strip, concatenate, copy. > Concatenating files should damage this behavior. Concatenated --nogap files *stripped of tags* sound seamless. Tagged files, --nogap or no, played separately don't...at least not always. This is where I run aground since, while I know a great deal about mp3 stream structure, I freely admit that I don't know jack about the actual encoding and decoding. At any rate, so far as I'm concerned, this discussion is over. From making a simple observation I've allowed myself, like a damned fool, to spend hours justifying my original claim. Well, I'm sick of it. If anyone else cares (and, frankly, I don't anymore), he's free to take the baton. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2009-03-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
