I know this might sound like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but could you try creating a 2 second long silent track? Then you could add it to your playlists selectively, IE not in between tracks of Dark Side Of The Moon but insert it between passages in your classical collection. Regards,

I have a mix of files -- most of my ripped CDs are ripped to lossless WMA -- I'd have used FLAC except that I use WMP as my computer player and it doesn't support flac natively. Most of these ex-CD tunes have an adequate gap, and it's not a problem. I'm very sure that the problem isn't processor

There might well be an obvious answer to this question that I should know, but I can't figure it out. Is it possible to change the gap between played tracks? I'd like two or three seconds, but can't find a setting to change. Not interested in a fade effect. Ron -- RonM

It would be helpful to know more info about your setup: - File type (mp3, FLAC, etc.) - Encoder (LAME mp3, iTunes mp3, etc.). - Do these files play gapless elsewhere (media player on PC, iPod, etc.). - Are you using the player synchonization feature? - What version of SqueezeCenter are you
