You mean...

Post #283,122 by folkert 4/25/07 10:35:56 PM Reply	You mean... Does anyone know of a Linux MP3 player that can actually buffer the next song and play it without an annoying-ass gap, unlike Rhythmbox or XMMS? Annoying ass-gap? How do you mean? Why not use a daemon and stream it, like mpd or something like that? MPD has many good things including local streaming. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

The songs blend seamlessly from one to the other, with no gaps. You can't even tell where the songs end without watching the indicator. Do this in XMMS, and you get an audible discontinuity between songs. Rhythmbox is even worse; there's at least half a second. I don't know anything about MPD. Does it have playlists and such like an MP3 player? Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

[link\|http://www.musicpd.org/\|http://www.musicpd.org/] It is Debian installable, stable has: 0.12.1-1.1 for amd64 and i386 0.12.2-2 is in unstable. There is a whole lotta stuff. Of course, YMMV. OMG, there is a a WHOLE LOTTA stuff.

Post #283,168 by admin 4/26/07 10:20:29 AM Reply	Still no joy. mpd + gimmix (nice client) I still get a slight discontinuity between songs. Putting in a 1-second crossfade helps erase the jarring, but now the songs get slightly smeared together. Better, but not by much. :-P Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
