Bug Description

I guess this is because of Gstreamer. A crucial feature in an audio app, but only those players have gapless playback: Deadbeef, Aqualung, Audacious, MPD and XMMS2.

This may give you an idea: Adding gstreamer developer ppa and upgrading all the gstreamer packages solve the gapless playback issue in Guayadeque and Banshee, but not in Beatbox.

There's a slight silence.

Technically it is a decoder problem. Gstreamer uses libmad for decoding MP3 files, Audacious doesn't use gstreamer for decoding MP3s but utilizes a libmpg123 based decoder instead. And libmad doesn't offer perfectly gapless MP3 playback.

I wish that this would be solved.

Actually I was talking about FLAC files, not MP3, but it may have been solved in the latest Beatbox which I haven't tried.

gapless has been implemented at least to what gstreamer claims to be gapless. it seems *pretty* gapless to me, but in the songs I can use for testing, there is a very slight gap. that may be blank noise in front of the mp3 though.
