Audacious/Amarok gapeless

[kreon28]

Hi,

I'm using both Audacious and Amarok with xine-engine 1.1.2 and Alsa 1.13 but still I can't get real gapeless music from it.
Mainly I listen to live show /e.g bootlegs/ and for me as an audiomaniac it is really annoying to hear miliseconds clicks.
Or even when listening directly from CD it is almost heard a one second gap!
I don't know why where to find some gapeless (not crossfading!) plugins for these players. Are there any?
When I used Winamp, first thing I downloaded was gapeless_output plugin and it worked perfectly. /I think/ That plugin was buffering music from the next file so even when music is played from cd, no gape is heard.
I thought that such add-ons is really simply to find for gentoo but I was wrong. So anyone could help?

You mean gapless CD play? My mp3/ogg's play gapless with Amarok, but CD's won't -- I have no solution.

I am not sure what you want.
No gaps between 2 songs or get rid of nasty clicks while playing songs?

I have no Idea for the gaps between songs.
But for the clicks try to increas the buffer of Audacious. (Options -> Auido. directly beneth the dropdown menu. I have a setting of 3000 (default) and it works great here...)

this is one of those features that some people make a big deal out of that I have never really understood.. I just can't understand why a gap between songs is annoying at all. I use crossfade personally, but gaps bother me none. I'm sure if there were some amarok developers who had a problem with this they'd add the feature. You might be better helped on their forums as far as seeing a plugin made.

If you want gapkilling, try media-sound/audacious-crossfade. It's a thirdparty plugin by Peter Eisenlohr, which includes amongst other things, a gapkiller.

Albums are quite often produced that between songs there is no audible pause -- one song or track melts into another. It's rather common in other genres too, especially ambient and quite often in rock. And when it's produced this way, a gap can ruin the experience.
