    How to rip CD without pauses between songs?

    I've ripped several CDs, such as Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and a few live concert CDs, where the songs should flow seamlessly together, without pauses between tracks.

    In my streaming app, I can enable "Gap Playback" option, and that solves the problem. But then I have to disable it for other albums because this option doesn't always work properly in the streaming app.

    Can I also rip a CD like "The Wall" in dBpoweramp without gaps between tracks? For example, with the DSP action called "Audio CD - Remove Gaps"?

    Or another DSP action?

    Thanks for the help!

    Every ripper will rip live cds without gaps, there is nothing more to do.

    It is the player which would put gaps.

      Gapless playback is available if both the control point (streaming app) and renderer (streamer/speaker) support the optional UPnP action setNextTransportURI. The toggle is there to allow the control point to communicate with renderers that don't/incorrectly implement setNextTransportURI.

      Gapless playback just means that there won't be any additional silence between tracks, it doesn't strip the 2 seconds of silence that typically follows each track on an audio cd. If your renderer supports gapless playback (there are no gaps when playing The Wall) then it should always be active in the control point.

        As pointed out, dbpoweramp already rips gapless tracks from CDs as gapless. This is default behavior. All the servers/players I use play back my dbpa rips as gapless if the CD is gapless (e.g., Dark Side of the Moon, Live albums, 2nd side of Abbey Road....)
