Kingog Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm not sure what happened to gapless playback (or cut silence.) That feature was a primary reason I purchased a license for Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gapless is still present in the v3 alpha tests, but Cut Silence is not (so your files really do have to be encoded as truly gapless to play without a glitch). I believe this was an omission and that it will be restored before the final release of PA v3 though. Otherwise, please revert to the stable build (588) which does support this.

Kingog Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thank you for your response, Andre. Could you help me understand the difference between Gapless and Cut Silence? When I listen to my music on WMP, for example, there are no gaps between songs intended to blend in to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gapless means one song follows directly on from the end of the previous song file, however if there is any silence at the start or finish of the track that will be played too. Cut Silence also looks for digital zero (or near enough) at the start or finish of each track and skips past that so you should only hear selections with any volume. If two tracks are meant to run seamlessly together, sometimes you will find there is a tiny bit of silence encoded at the end so you hear a tiny glitch as that is played between the musical passages. Adjusting the crossfade value can help with that. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingog Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was disappointed after receiving the Poweramp update today that Cut Silence wasn't brought back. I think losing that would be a big step backwards from v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 @maxmp , are there any plans to restore the Cut Silence feature, as it was useful to improved gapless performance. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
