I can confirm that flac is gapless, though if you set up synchronization
between Squeezeboxen then there will be a slight gap due to the sync
process.

This thread shows just how quickly things change. Things you thought

2006-01-08 Thread Eserim

WMP 10 does indeed cope with gapless, before I got my Rio Karma (and
started my translation to Vorbis) I used WMA/WMP for PC playback.

Now I have my Karma/SB2 combo I have gapless where-ever I go.

I use WinAmp to play on my PC and with a slight tweak to the settings
this handles gapless fine too.

So my advice, if you want gapless and compressed then go with Vorbis.

It seems to cope with mine just fine.

(Bad form to reply to yourself but the mailinglist doesn't propagate
edits)

I just noticed the OP said that WMP does do gapless playback of WMA
files. This is interesting, I was under the impression WMA doesn't
support exact track lengths. Does this mean the decoder we're using is
somehow missing this capability?

WMA - no gapless possible (format is broken)
AAC - no gapless possible (format is broken)
MP3 - no gapless possible (format is broken) - some hacks do exist but
slimserver doesn't support them
WAV - works fine
Vorbis/OGG - works fine
FLAC - works fine with one caveat : client side decoding of FLAC
sometimes glitches at transitions

I use a mixture of vorbis & FLAC, for the FLAC files I have it decoding
and streaming as PCM to avoid the bug mentioned above.

No idea about wma lossless, I'm afraid.  However, this "just works" with
FLAC/EAC.  As ever, I suspect the problem is Microsoft...

not with WMA lossless. I can't remember the ins and outs of gapless
playback at the moment, there is a bug with FLAC playback i think. MP3
should be ok and same with WAV. Because WMA lossless is being
transcoded on the server i don't think it will be possible to make it
gapless (not without some re-working of the way transcoding works
anyway)

Ripping the album to one single file would work. You can use a cuesheet
to still be able to jump to the beginning of each track. I can only
give you some hints here, I've never used cuesheets myself.
