Gapless Playback

[Eric Olson]

Winamp disappoints listeners of audio CDs in which track markers were inserted into a continuous performance. Wnaspi32.dll can be added to Winamp, but shouldn't a gapless playback option (perhaps a "join tracks" selection or default gapless playback when playing two or more tracks) come with the player?

JonnyMac:

Thanks for your reply to my Gapless Playback post. However, my point is that gapless playback should be the default behavior for Winamp. I know that it is for iTunes, for example.

The gapless playback of mp3 files broken with full file buffering option set to 15000 Kb in the in_mp3 options dialog.

It's because the winamp reads whole file to the memory and it's cause a buffer underrun.

I use out_ks.dll kernel streaming plugin. The gapless playback works even with the smallest buffers. But if i enable this option then gapless playback is broken.

Could you read 150 kb chunk of the next song 5 second before the current song end. Then wait till the current song end then free the memory then read the whole file into memory ?

In any way thank you for creating winamp !
