lame mp3's not completely gapless on 5G ipod

<< < (2/9) > >>

70mustang:
I'll try a few things tonight and see what happens.  I'm not to sure about it being the flac files because I also used them to create the vorbis files which played fine.  I'm thinking it has something to do with dbpoweramp.  The first test I'm going to do is manually converting from flac->wav->mp3 from the command line.  If that doesn't work then I'll try ripping it again.  Thanks for the help.

APEv2 tags on MP3's will break gapless in some cases.

I have the same problem with my iRiver iHP-140.  LAME v3.90 and v3.93 files created straight from the CDs (VBRs, using mostly the --r3mix settings).  All that I've tried still have a very slight gap.

Llorean:
Have you recorded them and verified that there's an actual gap? Sometimes (because the songs are encoded seperately) while there's not a gap there can be a discrepancy in sound between the end of one song and the beginning of the next due to the nature of lossy compression. While there is no actual gap in the audio itself (no silence) it can sound like it simply because the tone jumps very slightly.

Of course, there could also be a bug in playback, but at least in my experiences my MP3s playback perfectly gapless.

Try the "preset standard" setting when encoding with LAME.  This is what I use, and my mp3's are completely gapless with no pops.
