Examples of gapless playback: Karma vs iPod - 21/01/2004 16:05

I've written a page about the problem of gapless album playback on MP3 players.

It has examples which let you see and hear the Karma doing perfect gapless playback with both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis while the iPod utterly fails at gapless playback. The graphs say it all.

Wow. I had no idea the Ipod had such pathetic gap problems. Listening to the Ipod sample is actually painful. Very interesting study, thanks.

Props for picking Parabol to Parabola as a transition tester. I used that one myself when I was a little "newer" to the digital audio scene.

Oh... and "demonic levels of bass..." - that was great.
