Off topic alert: The Karma firmware is touted as playing mp3 gapless via either LAME tags if present, or silence detection otherwise. However, I've never been able to make it work properly, and others have reported similar problems. It's gapless for sure, but just like the SB2's FLAC playback, a chunk is sometimes skipped at the transition. Vorbis, on the other hand, is great. -- radish _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
