Gigabeat Gapless

[johnson4]

I've searched the forum and Im wondering if there has been updates on gapless playback. Im trying to find a way to update my existing mp3 to achieve gapless playback. I know crossfade is the easiest option but Im just curious if there is anything out there that could update my albums.
Im not opposed to converting to another codec if sound quality isn't lost.
thanks

Apparently Audacity can batch remove gaps from MP3s.  Check it out.

As far as Rockbox is concerned, though, it looks like development in this department is nil:

Pretty sure audacity cannot do this without reducing quality.  You most likely have to rerip your files using a gapless mp3 encoder like LAME.

Further, if you were to re-rip, i'd suggest using a format that has TRUE gapless ripping, such as OggVorbis.

LAME and Ogg both use the same type of gapless, so neither is more or less gapless then the other, at least in rockbox.
