I have Track Gain on. But I tried to switch it off and the deffect
remains.

It's random.

Do you have replaygain switched on, and if so is it set to track gain?
A sudden change in replaygain setting on track transition could cause a
"tick".

I have the same problem. The difference is that I have Fedora 34 Server
and the files are flac's and dsf's. It plays the whole albums without
any clicks or pops, but when you choose Random Play that's where this
effect demonstrates itsef. These clicks are very noticable but some
songs seem to not have them at all, very elusive.

I've tried various options of crossfade - no result. Checked if I had
the same deffect with Roon - Roon doesn't seem to have the same deffect.
Must be some kind of flaw with gapless feature. Looks like random play
use some other gapless option. It's very annoying once you noticed
that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

2007-08-26 Thread notanatheist

On the web interface under player settings/audio there are options for
crossfade. Might be worth taking a look at.

Re: [slim] mp3 track transition problem on Linux - clicks between tracks

2007-08-24 Thread maggior

So I reverted all of the way back to 6.5.1 and the gap issue is still
there.  It is only with some tracks.  Most will transition perfectly,
but others will generate a slight click or dropout at the transition.

These same files (LAME mp3's) play with no transition issues with
foobar2000 or my iPod.  So I'm pretty certain that the files are OK.

The small gaps are almost imperceptible, but now that I know they are
there, I hear them and find them annoying.

Is this a known issue?  Does anybody else experience this?  I'm
currently running 6.5.4.

Thanks,
Rich

[slim] mp3 track transition problem on Linux - clicks between tracks

2007-08-22 Thread maggior

I've been using SlimServer on a Windows XP machine for 9 months now. 
Recently I moved to a Linux server for better performance.  Last night
I noticed some gaps in some songs.  They are small (clicks actually),
but they are noticable.

All of my mp3s are created with LAME specifically for the gapless
feature.

If I play these files directly from my Linux server using foobar2000,
there is no gap whatsoever.  I never noticed these gaps on my Windows
machine (if they were there, I would have noticed - I'm sensitive to
the gap issue).

I'm running 6.5.3 with 81 FW.  I've rescanned my library (clear and
scan), reloaded the FW by holding down brightness, restarted the
server, and disabled the iTunes update plugin (I have it configured to
update locally).  I verfied that the audio startup parameter for the
player is set to 0.

Suggestions?  This one has me stumped.  

Thanks!
