How do i set up the skipping silence so i don't get a clipping noise when listening to the likes of "Pink Floyd - The Wall" or "Electric Light Orchestra - Time".

Do you mean you get a glitch at track change and want to use Skip Silence DSP to fix that? I hope I misunderstood because the DSP is not meant for such use and won't work that way.
Old lossy encoders couldn't handle such gapless albums but nowadays formats support restoring original track length and don't add any additional silence on track changes. If your lossy files are old I suggest re-encoding them from the CDs. Lossy codecs can also cause a glitch that sounds like 'click' on track change, when the codec can't store transition sample values accurately enough. It can be worked around by increasing bitrate or by using a dsp that changes the transition position to happen in digital silence.

I hate bumping all threads, but i'm looking for a plugin called "Skip Silence (alternate)". it worked a treat on my old laptop, but I can't find it anywhere to download. The built in silence skipper has never worked for me.
