Create gapless yet skippable music files for the iPod
Authored by: slchang on Aug 19, '05 02:49:54PM
I know it sounds like this should be an obvious and technically simple thing for Apple to do (I certainly thought so for a long time). But, it's not... this page has a detailed technical look at deficiencies in the mp3 and AAC format that make it impossible to make separate files in those formats that can be reliably be played gaplessly. It would have been nice if the touted and modern AAC format had addressed this problem, but oh well.

Create gapless yet skippable music files for the iPod

despite it being "impossible" to do because of the compression technology; other players in the market DO do this .........

imo, i don't care how apple does it, but they need to copy the other players on the market on this one. :(
