You have been subscribed to a public bug: In Ubuntu 11.10, Banshee doesn't support gapless playback very well. It has an option in the preferences that claims to enable the feature, but it simply doesn't.
With AAC and MP3, this is due to a format limitation. In those formats, the frame length is fixed, and so the last frame has some silence at the end, causing a slight gap. Several encoders, like LAME and Nero AAC, have implemented a tag that stores the correct track length in milliseconds. However, Banshee ignores this metadata, introducing the small gap at the end of each track. With FLAC, this shouldn't be an issue. However, there's an even larger and more noticeable gap between FLAC songs. Steps to reproduce: 1. Cue two or more gapless songs, such as those on side B of Abbey Road by The Beatles. 2. Play both songs in the correct order. 3. Observe the gap. This bug was already marked as fixed in this Launchpad around 2006, but it's clearly not. ** Affects: banshee Importance: Medium Status: Incomplete ** Affects: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Gapless playback doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/935762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
