gapless

[simoncn]

Gapless playback is not something that a UPnP server can control. As I said in my earlier post, it depends on the control point and the renderer.

The control point is the software that you use to browse the library and select tracks to play.

The renderer is the software and/or hardware that actually plays the music and produces sound.

Sometimes the control point and renderer are combined into a single piece of software. For example, on Android, the BubbleUPnP app includes a control point and also includes a renderer that you can use if you want to play music on the same Android device. If you want to play music on a separate streamer or DAC, you would only use the control point feature.

If the control point and renderer support gapless playback, all tracks will automatically be played gaplessly. If the tracks include silence at the beginning and/or end, this silence will be played. If the tracks don't include silence, no silence (gap) will be added.
