3 Player glitches when going from one track to the next.
I find at times there is a skip else not, can't find a pattern. It's more apparent with music with higher BPMs than with lower but still fleeting.
One way to verify this is whether the ouput is truly gapless or not. Meaning that when Playback is set to Gapless, is MC splicing the ends of the tracks or actually playing cue files as if it's one big file ?
To simplify, use a mp3 with a cue of say 3-5 tracks.
- Make sure any DSP effects are removed so as not to influence playback. Also try with MC as the only app so as to minimise load.
- Convert the big mp3 to WAV.
- Drop the cue into PN and set Options->Playback->Audio->Output->Output Mode (set to Diskwriter) as one big file.
- Play the cue items in PN, should save playback to a file.
Compare the PN WAV file to that of the big mp3 and note the areas where tracks changeover. Ideally the two WAV files should be identical. If there is slight changes near the track ends, then it's possible that some splicing is taking place.
The question to be answered is whether MC is aware it's playing a cue file and when Gapless playback is selected, does
not splice the ends together as if they were separate files. The whole point of using CUE is to get around the gapless problem with mp3s.
I'm away from the desktop atm, but hopefuly some one can confirm whether this is the case or not.
