Gapless Playback on iMod
« on: 24 Sep 2006, 06:56 pm »
Here is an extract of the iTunes 7 Help :
---
Playing albums straight through
Some CDs, such as live concert albums and classical albums, are meant to be played straight through, with no fading between the songs (or tracks). If you turn on Crossfade Playback, you can have iTunes turn it off when you play these albums.

To override Crossfade Playback for specific songs:
In iTunes, select a song and choose File > Get Info.
Click Options.
Select "Part of a gapless album."
Tip: You can select all the songs at once (press Command as you select them), choose File > Get Info, and then choose Yes from the Gapless Album pop-up menu.

it was not possible before.
a question remains : does it work ?
my answer : not in my short testing course !

It only works within iTunes, or on 5G iPods. It is firmware dependant.

One more reason to switch to Rockbox: http://www.rockbox.org/

BTW, I recently played flac files in Rockbox on an iMod through a 1963 Scott tube amp driving KEF Refernce 205s. The sound was just shy (mainly bass definition) of a $4,000 CD player with the same system.

I wonder how much that had to do with simply the low voltage output of the iMod. You are most likely getting less voltage out of that than most other sources.

Hi BG,

That's what I'm talkin' bout!!!  aa

Yes, the iMod line out voltage is approx 1Vrms.  A typical CD player uses 2Vrms.  All this means is that you need to turn up the volume of your amp a little more when doing comparisons.  It is very hard to exactly level match it by ear though...

Thanks for posting,

Vinnie
