I'm also a stickler for bug/feature nomenclature correctness ;) MP3 is not a natively gapless format, so gapless MP3 support (via nonstandard LAME tags) can only be considered a feature. Problems with gapless FLAC and Vorbis playback would be correctly called bugs. Nevertheless, it's a nice feature. Also, I fully realize that gap-hating is subjective, although part of it may be musical preference. Many classical CDs separate one musical piece into multiple tracks (for movements, etc). Perhaps you would feel more rage if the gaps happened several times DURING a song, rather than between songs? -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27384 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
