I love this app but I can't get mix albums to play helplessly. I have copied music from sd card to device in case it was the sd card but no difference. Nothing in the help about what to try.
All my music is mp3
My device is a galaxy s10 but actually I've had gmmp on several previous Samsung galaxies.
The only time I've ever actually had proper gapless is on the ipod or iTunes for windows.
Any successful advice would be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks
A

Thanks A Any lossless format should inherently maintain gapless playback. For other lossy formats like mp3, you need to check with the ripping software to see if it supports gapless. I use dbPoweramp for my ripping and have gapless support. But there are many others that should work as well. G |

fyi i think files ripped with itunes only are gapless in itunes.. they decided to use some non standard for the gapless tags and ffmpeg doesnt support it

Thanks for the replies from everyone.. as there is clearly no simple solution to this issue (I'm amazed that this has been an issue for over 10 years and no clever individual has taken up the challenge and solved it) please could someone advise me of the best settings in gmmp to minimize the gaps?
I have many mix albums and studio albums by artists such as jm Jarre where gaps are undesirable and in gmmp I have enabled prefetch, increased sensitivity to silence at start and end of tracks in the silence settings but they dont appear to make a difference. What are the best settings for this?

Short of going back and ripping your tracks in a lossless format, or at least with some software format that supports gapless with your choice of lossy format like mp3, the only thing I can recommend is to enable Crossfade in the audio settings, and adjust the time to get the desired result for your tracks. However this will also impact tracks that already have gapless enabled, so you will need to decide which way you want to go for your personal preferences overall. There is no way for any player app to differentiate otherwise.

What are the best settings for this? There are no settings to improve it, its either ripped correctly or its not. So the way gapless works with mp3 and m4a is that both formats are a "fixed size frame".. so inherently there is padding of garbage data at the beginning of a track and at the end of the track. A correctly ripped file will encode the size of the crap data the start and end so the player knows it can skip it. In some versions of itunes.. and possibly some other encoders.. they do not write the correct values in those tags and therefore the player skips too much or too little.. giving gaps / artifacts |
