How to play iTunes 7 tracks gaplessly in Rockbox?

<< < (3/6) > >>

GodEater:
Again, it's the "initial setup" thing I'm not interested in. There's nothing to be configured in iTunes, it just does it.

AlexP:
That is fair enough, but the inital set up is maybe 5 mins max, and you end up with lame gapless (or whatever other codec you want) and a completely flexible system.  Personally I'd rather spend 5 minutes than use iTunes (actually there are quite a lot of things I'd rather do other than use iTunes!), but each to their own.

GodEater:
I suspect the setup is maybe five minutes if you're familiar with it.

I'm not.

I'd have to read up on CD-Ex, dig through all the command line options for LAME etc. etc.

It's not that I couldn't - it's just I fail to see the point when iTunes already does what I want.

AlexP:
Command line options are all built in - you point it to the lame directory location, and select what vbr etc from lists.  Anyway, I'm not trying to convert you!

I wonder if Rockbox could someday honor both LAME and iTunes gapless info (just like the Rockbox Database scans both folders/files or iTunes DB, which I must say is quite fantastic!).

Just to clarify, Rockbox DOES NOT parse the itunes db.  The database generation process simply scans all the files on the disk.  

When itunes copies your files to your ipod, it renames them, but the tags are intact.  This allows the Rockbox database to index them.
