Gap in "gapless" track when "repeat one" in use

I have some short tracks meant to be played on an infinite loop -- babbling brook sound and such. As you can imagine, though these sound fine when played in a truly seamless loop, if there's even a small gap when the track repeats, they sound horrible.
The tracks play just fine in iTunes -- no gaps, seamless, perfect. But when played on my iPod Classic, there's a brief gap when the track repeats. Just a fraction of a second glitch, but it's enough to change the effect from relaxing to horribly jarring. Unusable, in short.
Is this a known iPod bug, or is there something I can do to fix it? (Yes, I have considered taking the short tracks and dup'ing them a few hundred times in a sound editor to create one big truly gapless music file with lots of repetitions, but that seems like a very ugly hack.)

The term "gapless" when referring to the iPod is usually understood to mean no gap between one track _and the next_ , and so expecting the iPod to manage gapless transitions when repeating the same track is probably asking a bit much of it. Perhaps someone else reading this may disagree...
By the way, I believe that the iPod's gapless feature is designed to work as follows: when you select "crossfade playback" (in iTunes, Edit/Preferences/Playback) each song is faded into the next - except for any albums marked as gapless. (I have not actually tried crossfade playback yet, but I have read about it in other posts.)
You could always try the crossfade playback and see what happens, but I think your ugly hack may be the only answer! Actually, one last thought, how long are these short tracks? The Classic iPod models must buffer the output from the hard drive to the headphones (again, I'm sure someone will disagree ) and if the track is very short, the buffer may not have time to find the start of the track before it finishes. Do you get the gap if you let the track play through to a third time?

i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......
Thnks

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

Repeat one track or Repeat one album

Is there any way I can repeat just one track?
Also, is there any way I can repeat just one album?
I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks.

Take the song that you want to repeat start to play it. Tap the screen and you will see a bar appear On the left side you will see the Repeat icon and on the right you will see the suffle icon.
press the repeat icon once to repeat the whole album, press again to repeat that one song.

I hope this helps

When can one computer use multiple I match

I share a computer. We all have individual apple ids and individual iTunes a counts. I am new to apple products. Why can't I have my own match account when someone already has match? I understand if I want to use it that would mean that he could not use his account for 90 days. Why so unfriendly for families? Any help or ideas?
Thanks

Use of previous and next track, when setting repeat one is on.

Hi,
I would like to use my iPod mini for language teaching, so I loaded words and sentences audio recordings to the iPod and then would use Setting->Repeat->One to repeat a word or sentence to memorize. But when repeat one is on it's no longer possible to use previous |<< & next >>| to change the track, both buttons will go to the beginning of the track currently playing! To change track I have to go back the the playlist and select the next track. In repeat off or repeat all the buttons are working.
How can I change this or is it a bug in the iPod mini? It cannot be intentionally it is working this way, because why should the 2 buttons be working in the same way?
Thanks
Sherab

Of course it's not a "bug".
You have the iPod set to repeat "one", so that's what it's doing.
With this setting, there is no "next" track so when pressing the >>| button it just goes to the start of the "one" track you have chosen to repeat.

When attempting to view the date track history for one employee, errors out

Hi All
When I attempt to view the date track history for one employee, it gives errors.
To get the details, the navigation is :
1. Search for employee xxxxxx
2. click on Assignment button
3. click on Date Track History.
4. Receive error APP-DT-52554.
5. Click OK on error message
6. click on Full History button.
7. Receive error APP-PAY-06153
What could be the problem and how to solve this?
Regards
Rahman

Sounds as if there is an inconsistency with the date tracked records. Can you check the records through TOAD or SQL Plus?
Have alook at MetaLInk article 343070.1 which refers to the second error message.
Regards
Tim

Lately when I sync certain albums to my iPhone, the tracks are duplicated one behind the other so that I have to listen to each song twice. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed?

Very strange behavior. Don't entirely give up on the "Manually Added Items" category ... I have seen things magically appear there even after I've checked and seen nothing there. I think things got real quirky when Apple released iCloud ... I don't remember extra copies of purchases lingering on my iPhone once transferred to my library before that. Sure, if I bought an album directly to my iPhone it would stay on there even after I sync to my library, but if I deleted the album from the iPhone it stayed deleted. Now it seems that there are some phantom copies that come and go with no explanation.

I've tried deleting the album from both the phone and from iTunes and then redownloading them to both and the same problem occurs.
If you're re-downloading an album to iTunes and your iPhone, that may perpetuate the problem. What happens if you completely delete every copy of the album, then just download to your iTunes library and then sync the album to your iPhone from your library? That should put only one copy on your iPhone.
A few other things to try:
1- Completely sign out of your Apple account on your iPhone, then re-sync to iTunes, then sign into your account on your iPhone again. Maybe throw in a Reset or at least a power OFF/ON somewhere in the middle.
2- Go to Settings/ General/ Usage, then select Music and when you see All Music, swipe your finger across it and tap the Delete button. Before doing anything else, Reset your iPhone. This does not actually delete your music, but seems to clear up some cobwebs left behind (people use this technique to reduce "Other" that swells up over time).

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects?

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects? It sounds like a latency problem.

AVI should never be used for iDVD. Even Microsoft abandoned AVI and moved to WMV. The reason for this is that AVI is limited to 2 GB is file size and has limited video codec support. If you have problems with AVI in iDVD, convert it to Quicktime right away.

When I convert a trailer to a project and add content, how can I get the music track to repeat longer

Hey fellow Apple Geniuses - I just got the latest iMovie11 so excited for the new trailer feature, only to discover that these teenie weenie movie trailers are not near long enough for my taste, however I do like the cool transitions and layouts, so I discovered that I can convert the trailer to a project and then add more content, which I am doing right now. I need help though with the audio track... Does anyone know the secret to getting the 43 second music track to repeat, since this particular track (Friendship2) is not showing as an option in my iTunes/iMovie licensed audio to be able to keep dragging more into the movie? Thanks a million!

Hey Tom - Thanks a million truly! Just did what you said and it worked so smoothly! Totally cool! This was the last piece to finish the movie. I appreciate and value your quick response! Happy camper here!

Filling gap in video track

This is pretty lame but I have forgotten the shortcut to close a gap in the video track by moving all the clips behind it forward. Moving each clip to close the gap is, of course, a pain.
Any help?

Man, you gotta be careful locking tracks and then making any changes. Many's the time I've done this only to find all sorts of things out of synch downstream. Now I never lock anything--it's too risky.
If you have a gap in your track, hold down the control key, put the arrow tool (the "selection tool") on the gap, and hold down the mouse button. Some options will pop up. One of them is "Close Gap." That will snap the gap shut, as long as there is nothing overlapping the gap on either the video or audio tracks.
Another way to shut the gap, even if there are things on other tracks overlapping the gap, is to choose the "Select All Tracks Forward" tool--the one with one arrow above the other pointing to the right (hitting the t key four times will choose it), and then click that tool just to the right of the gap to select everything on all tracks from the gap on down to the end. Then you can slide everything on that side of the gap forward to close the gap. (If you have "Snapping" turned on while you do this, the clips on either side of the gap will snap together when you push them close enough. That way, you won't accidentally overlap them. If you do overlap them, and start losing control, just let go of everything and choose "Undo" from the Edit menu (or Command-Z on the keyboard), and then try again. Whenever I start making a mess I just stop everything and choose "Undo."

Mastering but losing my mind with a "gap" between 2 tracks which shouldn't be there. What is wrong?

I have an album which I've been working on for a while and it's now all finished with the exception of one small glitch...
Throughout the album I have a around 4 overlapping tracks, when burning the tracks to a disc, 3 out of 4 of the tracks crossover into the next track perfectly. 1 of them doesn't...
My 1st method: Paste the 2nd Track over the end of the 1st Track, then cut the 2nd overlapped track and paste back over the original 2nd track, whilst saving over the now shortened 1st track... ( This, whilst not a great method, has never failed me in the past and worked on the the other overlapping tracks).
So I realised this wasn't a great method so then tried method 2.
My 2nd Method: Drop all the mixdowns into one waveform (in Edit view), and create Markers using the Marker List and F8, so that each track starts bang on the next .001 of a second.
Again, for 3 out of the 4 this was fine, but for the other... I can still her the tiniest click!
It's a click the listener will not notice, but it's a click that is killing me because the label putting out the CD is on me to get the final mix to them, but I won't submit it until this click has gone.
Things I should note:
1. When played in Winamp, there are no clicks. This is ONLY when burnt to a disc.
2. I've used Adobe Audition 3.0 to burn the audio disc with no silence between tracks.
3. I've also used Nero to burn the audio disc with no silence between tracks.
4. I've used multiple computers/dvd burners to test this.
5. I've used multiple brands of CD-rs.
6. I'm very sure that there is not an actually cilck on the waveform.
7. This is the 1st track leading into the 2nd track (I'm aware there is a 2 second gap before the 1st Track)
8. I've played the burnt CD-r on my PC, my DVD player, my Computer at work, my car stereo.
Please help me with this, it's driving me nuts as I've worked very hard and perfected the thing, and need to submit it very soon.
Is there any software you would reccomed to split tracks which I should try?
Thank you!

CD tracks should not be starting on the nearest .001 of a second but 1/75 of a second. The CD standard is 75 frames per second. If tracks do not start on the nearest 1/75 of a second the audio will be filled out to the nearest one causing clicks at the junctions. Make sure that the Display Time Format is set to Compact Disc 75fps and that Snap to Frames is turned on.

Repeat One!... developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this!

It’s not an issue I think anyone can help me with but I hope the developers of apple iPod and iTunes read this.
I am a full supporter and user of both iTunes and iPod…. But some things have always bugged me. :P
Repeat one
Can you please, for everyone’s sake, fix the repeat one function? Yes, when the ipod gets to the end of the song I want it to repeat the song ones more. But when I select next (>>) I’m sick of the song and wound like the next one. But instead it just starts over on the same track.
Today I have to click menu, scroll down and select play on the next song to move forward… meaning I actually have to take the iPod out of my pocket and see what I’m doing.
iTunes music library.
Another thing which would have been practical in these holiday times would be a separate music library function for iTunes. In other words be able to select, load and save different library for different usages.
Why you say?....
1.I don’t need my holyday Christmas songs clogging up my library in the summer.
2.When I do sound work for animations I like to have my sound FX and background music outside of my music list.
3.Some people are, (believe it or not), ashamed of some of their music and would like to store theme where no one can se them. Say I invite the boys over for some iron maiden and they end up finding my backstreet boys album. (yikes)
4.Say you have some very privet videos or sound books you don’t want your kids to here or see.
5.When I need background music for some tabletop role-playing I wand them in a separate list as well.
6.ETC
And before you say it… NO… play lists, and do not include in shuffle isn’t the solution…. neither is users. Have you even seen how terrible Microsoft user system works? (Yes I know get a MAC, but you can’t always play that card.)
This function really shouldn’t be difficult to make since you have the “iTunes Library.itl” file already.
This is just my opinion so fare, but if anyone agrees or disagrees; Pleas post a reply.
It’s all in good fun… As I said, I love my iPod and iTunes except for these issues. (Well I could talk about volume but… naaa, enough badgering for one night :P)
Best of days

Ok. So my iTunes started acting up a few months ago. ALL of the songs I purchased from the iTunes store stop in the middle of the song and then go back to the begining (I keep it on repeat one song by the way). Please help!!! (Windows 7)

(Windows 7) I would really like to hear my songs all the way through, but I can't . I tried the "Convert Protected ACC files to Purchased ACC files fix" but it DIDN'T work. I don't know what to do. It does it when I transfer the music onto my Classic too.

What do you mean "doesn't recognize"?
