_cdgap and _cdindex in Meta Data Tags

[Neill S]

Hi All I have recently discovered after updating dBpoweramp to 17.5 that it now has _cdgap and _cdindex in the meta data tags written. This seems to be only on some CD's.

I don't really understand what they are and why only on some CD's. Is this a new field in the tags? I don't see a way to turn them off.

Could someone tell me what they are and why only on some CD's and if they need to be there? Many Thanks!

You can add the DSP Effect 'ID Tag Processing' set to delete these 2 tags.

Ah not to worry. I figured it out but what do these tags do? Thanks!

They are used for Gap detection.

They are used for Gap detection.

Thank you. And by removing these tags am I affecting the CD Rip?
