If I recall correctly, gapless MP3 playback involves some extra information in the header of the file that says when audio should end.
MP3 files are composed of chunks of fixed sizes, so depending on the length of the audio, there will almost always be a gap at the end of audio playback which is the leftover empty space in the current chunk. So, to decode gaplessly the decoder needs to know when to stop playing even though there is technically the remainder of the chunk (which happens to be silent) left to play. This is why bugs in this area are more apparent with some files than with others. Since you've linked to some example files, hopefully this should be easy for Richard to reproduce. I won't guess how easy it will be to _fix_, though! :-) -- ChrisOwens Christopher Owens QA Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 210-9400 x717 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChrisOwens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32080 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
