lame mp3's not completely gapless on 5G ipod

<< < (7/9) > >>

dunno:
Mp3 encoded with Lame is gapless with rockbox, however, mp3 encoded by means of a non Lame encoder is generally not gapless.

Jag86:
Another thing I forgot to say is that all of my Mp3s are encoded with lame of various versions, but all are post-3.90.3, so there are extra informations such as encoder delay and padding.
I tried the last version of Rockbox 060912-2235 and the problem is still there. :-\
I know there is an option which sets the anti-skip buffer. I left it at 5 seconds. May I have to increase that value? What's the most correct value for you? Thanks!

Go ahead and try increasing it to 15 or 30 seconds and see what happens.  I have no idea if this will effect the issue you're having, but it can't hurt to try it.  I don't think there is really a "correct" value, so feel free to play with it.

Can you notice any other patterns to the behavior -- i.e. is it after a certain amount of "time" that it malfuncitons, or a certain number of songs, etc.  What about other albums that need gapless playback -- do these have the same problem?

Jag86:
I'll try to increase that value, although I remember that before upgrading to last CVS build it was at 30 seconds, maybe even at 1 minute. I tried various albums, just to be sure the problem wasn't the songs themselves, but the problem is always present. The number of the songs after the problem starts isn't always the same, I haven't checked about total elapsed time yet.

Jag86:
Nope. Different values don't solve the problem. But I found out that the same tracks, without any ID3 tag, play fine. All of my mp3s have ID3v1.1 & ID3v2.4 (UTF-8), tagged with Mp3Tag v2.36. RockBox should supports these, doesn't it?

EDIT: Uhm, I tried to remove ID3v1.1, leaving only the ID3v2.4 tag and it plays fine now. Quite strange!
