lame mp3's not completely gapless on 5G ipod
Jag86:
"Little" UP. There is any known bug (and maybe the fix) which can refer to my problem? I tried to search in the section "Bug Reports", but I haven't found anything.

Make sure Mp3tag is NOT writing APEv2 tags to the files in addition to id3v1 & id3v2 tags. Currently APEv2 tags will break gapless playback in Rockbox.

So using mp3gain (which writes APEv2 tags, I believe, for undo data) will break gapless in Rockbox? Would removing the tags from the files, which MP3Gain allows, fix the problem? (Assuming one doesn't care about having permanently changed the volume of the files...)
AlexP:
Yeah, the APE undo tags will break gapless.
Why not use replaygain? It does the same thing as MP3gain, but via ID3 tags, so no permanent changes, no APE tags, and rockbox compatibility! Foobar will generate them for you, and there are plugins for Winamp etc for playback. (If you aren't on Windows, sorry I'm not sure about Linux/Mac).

Basically because my wife's MP3 player is a Creative one (not Rockboxable) and most of our collection was ripped prior to having a Rockboxed iPod, so replaygain wasn't an option for me. Nothing against replaygain itself, mind you.
