Gap between tracks

I have just downloaded Endless river from HDtracks and near the end of a track it will cut a note short, insert a gap, and then continue the note as it transitions into the next track. Is this what you mean by Gapless-- ie the need to remove this Gaps?

If so how does one do it? I am using Minimserver, BubbleUPnP and I have a Simaudio Moon 180 (from an earlier post this is gapless). How does 'it' know when to insert a genuine gap between separate rather than continuous tracks?

Many thanks- this is pretty irritating and occurs on a few downloaded albums.

"Gapless" means that no artificial breaks will be introduced when going from the end of a track to the start of the next one, due to extra time imposed by software and network components to prepare for this new track. Gapless playback is achieved by preparing ahead of time for playing the new track, before the current one is over. This functionality requires cooperation between both the renderer and the control point used, as some messages need to be exchanged between them in due time. Not all renderers and not all control point support this, but fortunately those you are using (Moon Mind & BubbleUPnP) do very well.

For gapless playback to work with BubbleUPnP, you need to enable a specific setting : Open the app menu and do "Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Enable gapless control".
