LAME --nogap in EAC, Is this possible? Options

[TakuSkan]

I've been reading through posts on the LAME --nogap option. Some say the MP3 format doesn't allow gapless files. Some people say they've gotten it to work.

I'm gathering that it >can< work, but won't totally eliminate the gap.

I tried configuring EAC with the command: "--alt-preset standard --nogap %s %d" but didn't have any success. EncSpot has a field that indicates a --nogap encoded MP3, but none of the MP3s I encoded indicated that --nogap had been applied.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get EAC to execute --nogap on a series of tracks?

Thanks,

Shel

Try turning off dither/noise shaping as well.  Its pretty CPU intensive (relatively speaking).

Sorry I missed your post Mike. In FB2K v0.7 that I've set up, dithering/noise shaping comes disabled out of the box. I had tried configuring a size for 'Full file buffering' on that playback options window too, and it had no affect. Playback thread priority was also set at 'max', and reducing it only made the playback audio stutter.
