Full Version: Gapless songs on the iPod?
Hydrogenaudio Forums > CD-R and Audio Hardware > Audio Hardware

I have this album where the gaps between few tracks are 0sec.
Which means that you don't even notice when the CD switchs track. In some songs, it is very importent because the next track "Continue" the prevois track.
Is there a way to make it "Flow" like that (with no load up time between songs) in Ipod?
Except making the the 2 songs a one file ofcourse smile.gif

Unfortunately Apple does not support gapless decoding of any formats on the Ipod, so you'll have to encode them as one file if you want gapless decoding.

Oh, I see sad.gif
Well, thanks for clearing it up for me.
What is the best way to encode them as one file?
Encode each one of them as wave and use some kind of wave editor to "glue" them? (or maybe foobar have an options like that built in?)

In foobar2000 right click > Convert > Run conversion, single file output.

In addition, if you are encoding to mp4 (or m4a) AAC, you can set bookmark "chapters" in the continuous file that you can seek to. search hydrogenaudio for instructions how.

Yes, it does. It may require you to rename the file as a "m4b" from a "m4a" (mpeg-4 book vs. mpeg-4 audio).

Check out this thread.

Check this one out, too.
