lame mp3's not completely gapless on 5G ipod

<< < (3/9) > >>

70mustang:
It looks like it was the id3 tags.  I had dbpoweramp setup to write APEv2 tags.  I changed it to write id3v2.3 & id3v1.1 tags and I still had slight gaps so I though maybe dbpoweramp was just overwriting the gap info that lame adds to the file header.  

I reconfigured dppoweramp to use the .exe version lame instead of the dll and it worked fine.  I'm guessing that it passes tags via command line with the .exe so lame creates the tag with gap info and dbpoweramp doesn't have to touch it.  There's no more gaps.  

Thanks to all that helped.

saratoga:
LAME dlls in general seem to be buggy.  I recommend always using the exe, since it generally works better.

Deano:
I can confirm saratoga's message, I use only the commandline version of LAME  3.97b2 and have no issues with gapless playback. These are converted from FLAC and I have no problem with Rockbox playing them gaplessly (along with Id3v2.4 tags written by Foobar2000).

michael.conner:
(message had a bunch of embarassingly-outdated info which has been removed, although some can be seen in others' replies.  my bad.)

--- Quote ---The best way to get gapless playback w/Lame-encoded MP3's is to use the "--nogaptags --nogap" command-line switches using the .EXE file.

--- End quote ---

Why do you say this is the "best" way?   I've always just used the "preset standard" switch with the LAME encoder and gapless works fine.  Given this, what is the point of using the complicated command line switches shown above?

Thanks,

Larry
