View Full Version : gap-less playback possible with OGG?

This is more of a question: I have heard that OGG supports gap-less playback, but I have not been able to see it work. When I play an OGG file, and then enqueue another, there is always a gap between them. BTW, the same thing happens with WinAmp, so I am wondering if this claim about OGG is true, or am I doing something wrong in dAP?

Gapless playback is possible in theory with any codec, it is just up to the playing program to do all the work :), until true gapless playback comes into effect try usinghte crossfade option with a few seconds fade.

Hi Spoon, and thanks for this info. I suspected that it was up to the player.

It seems a lot of my CDs have tracks that run together, so when I play them on random, it is annoying to have a song just stop suddenly and another start playing. Cross-fade, BTW, works very well and I've been using it -- great feature!

So my solution is: I rip the tracks that run together as one long track. This works well except I have to use CDex for this functionality, because I can't do this with dMC, unless I have missed this feature (hint: something for WishList :-)

Install the Powerpack and click "Rip As One" in Audio Cd Input ;)
