[Feature Request] Option to skip mp3 silence #6250

Open FadyQJ opened 5 years ago

Hello,

I know this may seem like a duplicate, but I have noticed something with my experience in mp3s.

When saving any audio as mp3 there is always a certain (fixed) amount of silence in the beginning and end of song (maybe due to id3 tags, I'm not sure).

So when ripping CDs as mp3 there will always be parts of silence which is noticeable when the CD is a continuous track / mix.

I think this can be solved by having all mp3s skip a certain amount of time which is very small I have the value of it and I will post the value I have in a follow-up comment.

There is no way to achieve what you wish with separate audio files, because of the way both the compression and containers work. There can be crossfade tricks done, but those kind of make the transition evem more jarring.

What you want is to use a single audio file for the entire album and a .cue file containing the track info. Clementine will still show the individual tracks in the playlist and you will be able to skip to any of them, while retaining the continous nature of the album. That's the only way to treat the dark side of the moon :)
