re: Gapless Playback

Just wanted to share my information concerning gapless playback.

  • I have the 80 GB Zune.  My problems occur with the device, not the software.
  • I use the Zune software to rip my CDs  @ 192K using WMA.
  • There are pauses between songs (I guess 1-2 secs) when the preceeding song is rather long. 
  • Most noticeable on Grateful Dead live CDs (DP Series).
  • Gaps occur if the preceeding song is  >12 mins +/-
  • More popular CD...Dave Matthews Live in Central Park.  Gap occurs between Jimi Thing (16:39)>What Would You Say(5:27), but not into next song.
  • Does not appear to happen on shorter songs.

I have followed some of the posts concerning this issue.  I was encouraged by a recent post concering length of song and decided check my own collection.  I am aware that we all rip differently with different file outputs, so your mileage may vary.  Just hoping this info may be helpful to someone else or the Zune team. 

I welcome any ?s that may help.

re: Gapless Playback
I've got an album that doesn't allow gapless playback. The new Dr. Atomic Symphony/ Guide to Strange Places album by the artist John Adams doesn't have gapless playback between the 2nd and 3rd tracks (which is a crucial part of the music). I am currently using a Zune 80GB. I have never been able to achieve gapless playback with this album, so there is always a gap.
