Hi!
I know that Sony MD units decode ATRAC files without gaps - does the same apply to their portable CD players? Also, are MP3s decoded properly or does Sony apply certain EQ settings to make the tracks sound worse? Regards, Sebastian -------------------- http://listening-tests.hydrogenaudio.org/sebastian/

IIRC, LAME's --nogap option is like encoding the entire stream (e.g., the whole CD) in one big MP3 file and splitting the whole MP3 file into individual tracks at MP3 frame positions nearest (or rounding) to the track boundaries. In addition to this, bit reservoir is flushed at the end of each track so that one can play each track independently. The decoded MP3 files are gapless only if a decoder does not re-initialize the internal state (e.g., information for MDCT overlapping) at the beginning of MP3 files.
When --nogap option was introduced into LAME, there were absolutely no approach for gapless playback. The idea to store encoder delay and padding in MP3-Info header was invented afterwards, and MP3-Info is now supported by a number of software players. |
