Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Rhythmbox claims to support gapless playback. It does for the most part, but on mp3's, it doesn't. This is due to the design of mp3 frames. Each frame is a predetermined length of time, and the last frame is no exception, which causes a small silence at the end of each song. LAME has a workaround for this: embed a tag that tells a decoder exactly how long the song should be. iTunes, iPod, and libgpod support this. Rhythmbox neither makes use of this tag in its normal playback, nor for syncing songs to an iPod. The bug is present in all versions of Rhythmbox, in all versions of Ubuntu. ** Affects: rhythmbox Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: rhythmbox Importance: Undecided Status: New -- does not support lame mp3 gapless tag https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290150 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
