Gapless Playback Has a Gap! #736
Comments

@f4lc0n-asm For these test files, it's expected that there would be a gap. In the current implementation, Dopamine preloads the next file in the playlist 2 seconds after a file starts playing, to try to ensure a smooth transition when from current to next file. The tests files are too short for preload to work. |

My bad - the songs I thought were connected had a short gaps in themselves at the beginning and the end… I created two 10sec sinus audio clips in FLAC and these play gapless. However, if I during the playback of the 1st file fast forward it by clicking somewhere ahead in the blue position strip at the bottom of the player window, a short click is heard immediately (not surprising), but a click is also heard just when the 2nd file starts playing. Please check the 2 new files. Gapless.Audio.Test.v2.zip (7-Zip) |

May I suggest that you open 2 files simultaneously without the 2sec delay for the second file (if there is just one file in the playlist to be repeated, then open it twice at once). And when the 1st file finishes, immediately open the 3rd file (or reopen the 1st file), and so on… This way you will be able to play gapless even very short audio clips. I put together 1sec and 10sec sine audio clip pairs (the 1st version of 1sec audio clip pair has unfortunately 1 overlapping sample, so this time I double checked on sample level before saving them): ================================================================================== If you feel like it, here are some musical highlights from Notre Dame opening: Opening of Notre Dame Cathedral 7.12.2024 - Opening of the gates of Notre Dame Cathedral (2':14''-2':27'') - opened by Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, magnificent singing of the cathedral choir under the direction of Henri Chalet: Resurrection of the Notre Dame Cathedral Organ (3':17'' -3'39''). Played by the cathedral organists Olivier Latry (62), Philippa Lefebvre (75), Thierry Escaich (59), and others: Final Te Deum (3':55''-4':04''): Holy Mass of the Consecration of the Altar in Notre Dame Cathedral 8.12.2024 - Alleluia and organ improvisation during the anointing of the altar table with oil (2'07''- 2':14''): Singing of the chorale Alma Redmptoris Mater (2'30''- 2':36'') organ improvisation: And a little bit of the romance from the concert in the cathedral: |

Thanks a lot for your suggestions and sample files! This is very helpful. I'll definitely try out your suggestion about preloading 2 files at once. Gapless is a bit new for me so all ideas to improve it are very welcome. |

Maybe you came across the open-source WinAmp - things which might inspire you: |
Hello,
just tested the gapless playback in Dopamine 3.0 Preview 37 and there is an audible gap btwn two songs. I even created 2 test files with pure 1kHz FS sinus, which starts in the 1st file and fluently continues in the 2nd file. When these 2 files are played sequentially in a playlist, there is an audible gap…
I am attaching the audio files (FLAC and WAV versions) for you to test.
