"--nogap is the same as making one big mp3 file with the encoder and then splitting it youself on mp3 frame bounderies. --nogap has one extra nicety in that it will reset the bitreservoir at track bounderies, so the first frame of all the mp3 files will be valid when played back by itself.

For nogap to work in a player with a play list of the 10 mp3 files, the player just needs to not reset the encoding engine between each mp3 file.



Does he mean to say the "decoding" engine? And why can't the engine be reset, if the bit reservoir is no longer an issue?
