gapless FLAC/APE in a Directshow player?

[leeperry]

hi there,

the latest beta of Reclock supports bit-perfect(or 96/192kHz upsampling if you fancy that) for audio files(w/o buffering the first samples)...but is there any DirectShow player that does FLAC/APE gapless? so I could ditch foobar...I very much prefer MPC + ffdshow(libsamplerate has never been updated in foobar, and ffdshow is just SO much more convenient...you cannot make automatic profiles in foobar :rolleyes:)

MPC cannot do gapless apparently? :devil:

there appears to be some GPL solutions to gapless audio: http://www.gdcl.co.uk/gmfbridge/index.htm but I guess there's still no active MPC coder atm :o

this one doesn't look free, though: http://www.medialooks.com/products/directshow_filters/playlist_source.html

I think MPC does seamless playback for video files, how about audio files from a .m3u? would that be doable?

There are other components for changing the sample rate in foobar2000 that can be added to the DSP chain, I believe.

yep, like SoX...but libsamplerate sounds much better to me, and I very much prefer MPC/ffdshow/madflac/Reclock to foobar on many levels(SQ as well)...ah well, maybe one day someone will extend the MPC seamless video playback to audio :)

Did you find a solution Leeperry?

I also want a gapless/seamless directshow audio player, for playback with the following filterpath:

madflac/wma decoder -> ffdshow audio (convert to 32bit FP) -> Convolver Wrapper (room correction) -> Reclock (wasapi).

It all works, and SOUNDS FANTASTIC....but it stops and restarts at every track....grrr....

If one wants gapless audio then the whole CD should be in one file. It makes no sense to rip individual tracks as separate files when one needs them gapless.
