Gapless Lossy Glitch

 

A light audio glitch/pop that occurs during a track segue ONLY while using lossy formats.

 

The glitch occured everytime while using these formats:

LAME MP3 Constant and Variable Bitrate

Apple AAC/M4A Constant and Variable Bitrate

 

Note: The files playback perfectly on iPod/iTunes/Foobar2000

 

This glitch did NOT occur for these formats:

WAV/CUE

WAV

FLAC

Apple Lossless

 

 

 

Information:

 

Phone: LG VOLT

Android: 4.4.2

Poweramp 2.0.10 Build 575

 

 

CD Source: Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine Retail CD from 1989. Ripped using EAC (100% Accurate Rip)

Okay, I did a bit more research into this and it's a common problem and basically no android player is able to play those files without a slight hiccup as of writing this.

 

The problem is that supposedly these files are not truly gapless the way lossless files are written, but written with start/stop point data which is read by iTunes/iPod/Foobar2000 which let's the program know exactly which sectors to skip to play seamlessly. It would be great if Poweramp could implement this feature.

 

Solutions:

 

1). Deal with the small problem until Poweramp implements proper decoding of those file types.

2). Re-rip files into single m4a/cue <--- already tested and this works. Place your .jpg image file into the folder so that the image shows when playing.
