gapless playback on ipod 5g!
AlexP:
The MP3s must have been made somehow in the first place. Did you rip a CD, or were they downloaded from itunes? If downloaded from itunes then I don't know how they encode their DRM free files - if they don't use lame to properly gaplessly encode them, then as far as I know they will not be able to playback gaplessly.
AlexP:
OK.
Lame is a program that encodes MP3s, for instance if you rip music from a physical CD. As you already have the MP3s but not the source (i.e. the CD), don't worry. You don't want to re-encode lossy (i.e. MP3) files as the quality will nose-dive.
As I say, I don't know how itunes encode their MP3s. Do they play anything like gaplessly on your PC, or in the Apple firmware? Note that many programs will just try to detect and remove silence which isn't proper gapless.
podfreak:
When i transferred the MP3s to itunes playlist, it was showing "determining gapeless". There was a gapless playback in apple firmware.
AlexP:
I don't own an iPod or use itunes, but I believe what itunes does is when you transfer the music it calculates the silence and writes itunes specific metadata to the MP3 which the Apple firmware then uses to remove the silence. Rockbox doesn't make use of this non-standard information.
I'm getting into memory territory here, so I may be getting details a bit wrong.
podfreak:
So is there any solution for this problem? Do i have to encode again? Thanks for the reply anyway!
