Can you stop the blip between tracks on an ipod

Can you stop the blip between tracks on an ipod

it's annoying enough on a dance mix cd, but it's doing me napper in listening to Floyd cos you get the blip just before the next track kicks in :evil: :evil: :evil:

no gapless play on ipods as far as i'm aware

arse

but cheers anyway.... would have put money on it being you coming up with the answer dude

doesn't mean it' true!

believe me I've searched everywhere for this and can't find owt that says the blips can be removed.... so if I reckon it can't be done, and so do you then that's it as far as I'm concerned

yes u can , when u add the mix cd's to itunes u need to add them as one track , i havent got itunes at work but ill be able to tell u when i get home !!

It means u dont get the track names while its playing tho , just one long track !!!

Si - this is the reason I didn't buy an ipod, but I assume you're fairly technical, so take a look at:

http://www.rockbox.org/

They do alternative firmware for things, and they DO do gapless, I had it working on my iriver for a while.

It's definitely underway for the ipod, the exact state of it at the moment will be on there somewhere.

yeah the gap-less option is in itunes somewhere too !!

cheers chaps.... not mad keen on sticking 3rd party firmware on me ipod but will have a look

Fiddla I know I could do the whole CD as a single track, but prefer having tracks....

I'll check itunes options but either way it's not the end of the world

you could just keep repeating the same track over and over

thanks for your contribution alex


... but as if by magic, I just installed iTunes 7 and it's currently running through the all me tunes "determining gapless playback information" which is slightly spooky but sounds promising

I'll let you know the results...

i know someone who's just done this today - it's proper cocked up his whole play list!!

I just downloaded iTunes 7 and it gave me the same message. did you ever sort out how to do the gapless thing without third party ware?

I don't think it can be done without 3rd party? In itunes you can get gapless (winamp has done it for years), but I've never seen it done on a pod.

Rockbox is real deal firmware - I've tried it, it works, and it's fucking good.

aye I did

iTunes didn't manage it by itself, but it now has an option to mark tracks as part of a gapless album

and what's more it actually works so woop woop

it did manage to shag the track numbers on at least 1 album though

and I also found 7GB of other stuff on me ipod which I think media player had put on with fucking asking me so I got that back too
