Summary	0002718: Play mp3 tracks gaplessly
Description	Currently in_wmp3.dll plug-in doesn't support gapless playback of tracks, there's always a small gap inserted (due to how mp3 encoding and decoding works). This causes an unpleasant user experience when continuous albums are played (e.g. Beatles - Abbey Road) or e.g. if wav->mp3->wav conversion is made - the resulting wav is about 20kB longer that the original one.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	1012

jiri 2006-12-08 18:12 administrator ~0008248	Fixed in build 1012. - in_wmp3.dll was improved, so that there isn't absolutely any gap introduced for Lame encoded mp3s (because of Lame support for this) and other mp3s are also handled very well, gap is removed intelligently.
