Itunes 7.0

[J-Shock]

I dont know if you all know but iTunes came out with its new version 7. It seems pretty cool until i realized.....

GAPLESS PLAY!!!!!!!!!

So now i can enjoy mix cds like mix cds! no more 1 second skip between tracks!

And i noticed that this version of iTunes doesnt lag your computer as much as the previous versions.

Real happy about this

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't updated in a few months.

Re: Itunes 7.0

how can this be? mp3s made from mix cds and such still lose a little bit of information at the ends...so is this just a really fast fade? also, is this just for mac or PC as well

I got a PC and a 5th generation iPod. It works quite well let me tell you

gapless play has been possible for a long time.. just not on an ipod. i'm not sure why you haven't been able to do it, it's either the software you're using or something you're doing.

iTunes has always had that feature (or at least fade in). Select a bunch of tracks then "get info".

I've read reports of iTunes 7 being slower due to "extra" features.

I agree iTunes 7 is faster not slower, at least on my iMac G5.

I'm wondering this as well...MP3 technology usually has the header for the file covering the first several frames hence the little "gap" when mix CD"s are played as tracks...even more so if VBR encoded. If that gets overridden now, that's cool.

But, iTunes still sucks balls imo

No this is different, iTunes won't add it own gaps, it will (should) just play the MP3 exactly as you rip it. The BIG news for me is that the iPod also now supports gapless play. Previously it always added a gap between tracks - shitty programming on Apple's part. But now if you rip the MP3 properly the iPod will play them gapless. Sweet!

Thanks for the explanation. But there's no way to disable gapless playback now

Yeah, select all the songs of an entire album, Get Info and there is a small option at the bottom for Gapless Play, put No and your set.

I dont know if this answers your question but give it a try
