<div dir="ltr">agreed - Ogg is based on samples, not frames, from what i remember, but just in case the files had to be MP3 for some reason, you could set them up in this utility and get your seamless playback that way.<div>

>there's an interesting tool that game audio folks use that does some clever prestidigitation when encoding an MP3 and generates a gapless version. it runs on a PC, but can run under Wine pretty easily. requires old fashioned WAV files for input. here's the link. the page also has a lot of detailed information on why MP3s have this issue and how the tools solves this problem:<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>Well, if you require WAV for input you might as well convert to OGG which AFAICT doesn't suffer<br>
from this problem.<br>
