![]() It sounds harsher and less smooth (even with dither turned on - maybe there’s a problem with the dither, I don’t know).What is the difference between the In-App Only, File Download and Split Track formats? So if there’s no gap there already, it would be gapless.Īs for offsets - Oh please! The cuesheet contains the offset information.Īnd who cares if you want to call it a “hack”!! If it works, it works.īTW, I have installed Rockbox - yes, the Rockbox cuesheet support is great (as well as general gapless support), but unfortunately the sound quality is not as good as the native OS. The firmware doesn’t “probably have to support gapless” - there is no way the player would actually insert a gap in the middle of a continuous audio file. OK, let’s correct a couple of things here! Firstly, there cannot be a “glitch going between cue tracks” because we’re not talking about “going between tracks” - I’m talking about one single audio file, and a corresponding cue file (embedded or otherwise - you could keep it external if embedded is to difficult). You’d be better off just asking for gapless, or else using rockbox with multiple files or separate cue files, both of which will give you glitch free playback of flac files." Its not a very popular feature in general, and its mostly a hack for systems that don’t have gapless playback. Thats certainly not “mind-numbingly simple” to implement. Not to mention that the firmware itself probably still has to support gapless playback so that you don’t get a glitch going between cue tracks. All of that could be changed, but then you’re changing how every type of file on the system plays. Thats actually not all that easy to support since most of the time software assumes that one file contains one track, and that playlists do not specify offsets within a file. "An embedded cue file is basically a playlist thats inside an audio file that points to different parts of that same file. ![]() ![]() You’d be better off just asking for gapless, or else using rockbox with multiple files or separate cue files, both of which will give you glitch free playback of flac files. ![]() I just wonder how many rooftops we have to stand shouting from, until Sansa do the mind-numbingly simple act of implementing cue support.Īn embedded cue file is basically a playlist thats inside an audio file that points to different parts of that same file. Not for embedded cue sheets as far as I know. I don’t have any files like that to test it with, but in my testing today the latest Rockbox build has been working very well for me. I’m not sure if it’s implemented on the Fuze v2 builds but the option is in the menu.
