I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, it
feels wrong, but I can't fault the logic of
why it happens
(my options for seek and switch tracks are both set to gapless for this)
Play any track
Seek to halfway though
What happens now is it continues to play the remaining buffer and then switches seamlessly to halfway through
Ah, thats's not exactly what I want - I expected it do move to the new bit
now, not some random time into the future
Now....
Pause the track, because of a phone call [optional, you can get a coffee instead if you like
]
Drag the sllider to the start of the track (because that phone call took longer than you expected, or you've had way too much liquid
)
Start playing it again
So, now what happens is
The track starts playing from where you paused it for as long as the buffer is, then moves to the start of the track
And all the while the trackbar slider is in the wrong place as well
Now, I understand
why this happens, and that really I should stop the track and them click play, but it just feels wrong
If the trackbar is moved while paused I really think it should behave more like stop-move-play
On the other hand, is a general issue with 'gapless'?
Should gapless play the rest of the buffer, or just move immediately?
After all, your buffer can be up to five seconds long and that's not really my idear of 'gapless' - my idea of it is that it's immediate with no audio clicks, glitches, other anomalies or the trackbar showing the wrong position
The trackbar bit is just bizarre, although, showing me what I will be listening to in 5 seconds time is kind of reassuring
I mean if it
knows that in 5 seconds time i'll be listening to a particular track, all I have to do is listen to music 24 hours a day and i'll never die
Does this make sense or have I got one of those 'can't get that song out of my head' experiences ?
