Help with acdir and lame Options

[ilikedirtthe2nd]

Hi,

what I'm trying to do is using a wav image + cuesheet as input for lame to automaticly create files using the "--nogap" option.

I found info about lame with cuesheet input here. The patch is outdated and it's successor is "acdir" which interprets and pipes the cuesheet to lame or other encoders.

Now, I want to to exactly the same thing the patch did with acdir: Take an image and encode it to a series of files using the --nogap option, but acdir seems to refuse the setting of --nogap or better: it parses it to lame but no mp3s are created.

I know that --nogap is quite a cripple workaround, but I'd still like to be able to create mp3s that play gapless on hardware players, that don't read the lame info tag, in one step - you know most don't...

Anyone has got the same problem as I have an solved it?

Regards; ilikedirt

I can't find any mention of the --nogap switch on the official site's documentation and this leads me to believe that it may be outdated or useless. Gapless playback is already included in LAME-encoded MP3s by way of the encoder delay and padding tag fields.

What purpose do you wish to use this switch for and do you have the documentation describing it?

--nogap is still there. it's in lame --longhelp. As I understand it, it fills the encoder padding space with the beginning of the following track. Of course this is useless on devices that interpret the lame tag - it's just that only the Rio Karma and rockbox devices do so...
