Well, I for one am happy to see the new --nogap option in LAME. I was
ready to give up on either LAME or MP3 because of the seemingly
unavoidable skips between what should be contiguous tracks. (In my
experimentation, BladeEnc had slightly smaller but still audible gaps.
I have't tried Ogg Vorbis -- does anyone know if it does a better job of
avoiding gaps between contiguous tracks?)
However, the syntax and semantics -- specifically, the fact that you
have to encode all contiguous files in one run of LAME -- are a tad
annoying. This will make it hard for anyone using an existing ripper
(eg. grip) to use --nogap, because those tools typically extract and
encode one track at a time. (Like most geeks, I've rolled my own
ripping script -- see ripoff.sourceforge.net -- so I'm not completely
out of luck. But I will have to make some changes to accomodate
--nogap.)
Is there a good reason that you have to encode everything in one go with
--nogap? Or could this be changed?
Thanks --
Greg
