I have a few such albums - quite a few from 808 State, one from Orbital, remix singles and albums from Electronic and New Order. Yes, old school, I know. ;-) None of what I have requires gapless playback. You did ask whether people would find gapless useful, I answered. Maybe others are in the same position I'm in, I don't know. I just thought "should Slim be devoting development resources to this right now" and I couldn't answer yes. The good thing about open source is that we have the option - if there is enough interest Slim might work on it, but even if they don't, some smart programmer somewhere can write a plugin. If past history is any indication, a very well-written plugin eventually gets included in the public release. Just try that with Sonos or Olive Musica. ;-) -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19736 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
