Is AAC gapless playback working (r3.9.1) ?

<< < (3/3)

OK, thanks - but it does for me; I'll look into the settings.
BTW, I copy tags from the FLAC-files and paste them into the AAC-files.


--- Quote ---Not really. But what do you mean by "switching"? Pressing next?

By switching I mean when player stops playing at the end of one track and starts playing at the beginning of the next - I'm not interfering.

Llorean:
If it's just a small discontinuity, "gapless" for lossy files (like AAC) is almost never perfect. The samples at the end of one track won't match up perfectly with those at the beginning of the next, so there may be a noticeable difference. This may be what you're hearing.

Right - to sum up:

* It's very difficult to produce AAC files allowing a perfect gapless playback
* Rockbox (from r3.9.1) will do a perfect gapless playback of AAC files allowing such a playback (confirmed by others)
* Vorbis files will always allow a perfect gapless playback (because Vorbis is designed to facilitate this)
* The mp3tag program will destroy all existing tags when pasting (current discussion on their forum)
Thanks all
