The Id3v2 spec is all over the place. It allows for up to 200MB? of metadata, zillions of fields, and is in general a mess. Lames --nogap seems to be working ok for me, is there something im missing? I thought the problems with the vbr header have been fixed. I think we will end up waiting for ogg to be implemented for gapless playback. I think Kit knew someone that was working on this. Any other attempts to get around the mp3 format's weaknesses is an exercise in futility it seems.
