How to rip a gapless live CD

7 replies

Hello,

I'm using a Beomedia as a digital player and I have tried to rip in MP3, WMA and AAC format using WMP, Beoplayer, EAC and Itunes.

I keep on having small gaps in between the tracks of the live CD's. Can I avoid this or do I have to get used to the idea that the BM1 is not capable of producing gapless music.

Thanks 

Hi there....

 I've had the same problem when using Beosound 2. It drove me crazy and I looked for a solution everywhere. I bought an Ipod touch.

 Beosound 3200 has the same issue, the main reason I just wouldn't buy one.

 Regards...

Hello sprocket,

I'm 'glad' I'm not the only one because I started to think I used the wrong programs. I also think it's a shame that B&O is unable to come up with a proper solution.

In another topic I asked the question if BM1 will get a new SW release, similar to the BM5. Maybe then the problem will be solved. I got no replies...

Itunes actually can rip without gaps, however you have to use the aac format.

 Its not a thng that you can fix in the software, its a problem with the MP3 file format. Everyne who is using MP3 in their music player will have this problem.

I used the Itunes AAC ripper on one of my tests and playback was on BM which supports the AAC format, still I had this problem. So I can assume that the BM doesn't handle the AAC format like it should be.

correct, it works for mp3 too. i didnt know that. the wki is explaining the issue, the gap sits apparently in teh MP3, however there is a tag that contains the lenght so that it can be removed.
