I'm usually a happy FLAC guy but have been experimenting with AAC
because I'm helping a friend set up an iTunes library. I recently
encoded the ultimate gapless album "The Dark Side of the Moon" and am
hearing definite and repeatable little gaps/disruptions at track
changes. Those issues are not there when playing the same files in the
Windows version of iTunes.
Files were created from the FLACs using fdkaac in Ubuntu Linux with this
command line (the $variables are populated earlier and I don't believe
are relevant):
Code:
--------------------
flac -d "$file" -c | fdkaac -o
/mnt/WD8TBNAS03/TempAudio/Workspace/Convert/Travis/"$justfile".m4a --profile 2
--bitrate-mode 4 --afterburner 1 --transport-format 0 --gapless-mode 2 --title
"$title" --artist "$artist" --album "$album" --genre "$genre" --track "$track"
--album-artist "$albumartist" --date "$date" -
--------------------
The original FLACs play back perfectly as do ALAC files created from the
same FLACs. MP3s created with the gapless option in LAME are better, yet
still ever so slightly imperfect.
Any suggestions? Is this a bug?
Thank you!
