[QUOTE="lionel_vinyl, post: 294250, member: 1056"] was gunna give the link to mpeg.org but its whaay too deep :S - so put simply ... [I] [B]WHAT ARE MP3 GAPS?[/B] These are the short silence gaps at the beginning or end of music tracks that result from ENCODING an audio track into mp3 format. They are NOT the gaps on a CD between audio tracks put there by the CD manufacturer. mp3 gaps were NOT there originally and are merely an artifact of the encoding process. These sections of silence are needed by the mp3 encoder and decoder to ensure that there are an equal number of "samples" in each part or "frame" of the mp3 file. The mp3 encoder/decoder needs this so that it can perform its frequency analysis properly in order to compress and later play back the audio signal. Almost every audio track encoded to mp3 will have these small gaps added to either the beginning and/or end of the final mp3 file. Generally they are less than a second (often 0.1-0.2 seconds long) and may not noticeable at all. But they clearly can be heard when playing tracks sequentially where no break originally occured in the sound or playing between tracks on the CD.[/I] there we go ... clear as mud ;) :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
