Inappropriate?Joseph, Songbird doesn't yet support "gapless" playback, but if you download the appropriate playback add-on for your platform, http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/23 - for mac, or http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/24 - for windows, you'll have much snappier playback performance.

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll have a look to see if I can find one for linux, or maybe try .6 (I followed a tut, but it installed .5! ah, well, it was higher than I had before) which I understand is better performing..............
If the gap is performance related, I guess that means it's not a "feature", which is promising, although I still have a feeling it'd be a lot of work to go from gappy to gapless play, since presumably gapless requires that (at least parts of) both songs are in memory together at some point. (I get the feeling it could be quite a scary, backend-changy thing. Even if it's nice and encapsulated, does it know what the next track will be?)..............
Alternatively, if it's not so scary, is it something that a plugin could do some magic with? I'm a very-sub-average coder and I've never really tried writing plugins for things, but it's the summer and anything's worth a try, right? -
Inappropriate?Joseph, it's good to have you aboard and with time on your hands! If you like try your hand at creating add-ons or fixing Songbird bugs, check out the Songbird Developer Center, http://developer.songbirdnest.com. You can also pop into the irc channel, irc.mozilla.org/#songbird, there are a bunch of devs there who can help you answer questions and help you get started.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Hello,
I'm very new to Songbird. I'm having the same problem as Joseph, I have a lot of mp3 mix albums with separate tracks, so it's not really an option to use Songbird for e.g. a party or something.
It says in the developer center that there would be a fix? (roadmap, bug 8596, completed?). Currently this problem is the only thing keeping me from using Songbird as my default music player for all occasions.
Did I miss a setting or do I have to install a plugin perhaps?
kind regards,
Mike,
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
