mp3splt / News: Recent posts

Added bit reservoir handling for mp3 gapless playback option (-b for the command line).
This option also allows playback at the exact sample specified by the input time, instead of the music data frames boundaries. Warning: split files will play gapless only on players supporting mp3 gapless playback using the LAME tag delay and padding values (example of gapless mp3 players: cmus, mpg123, foobar2000, winamp). The feature is heavily inspired by pcutmp3 developed by Sebastian Gesemann. Use with caution because it is still an experimental feature.... read more

Those versions mostly fix problems with CUE files.

Bug fix: make sure to separate artist and performer in CUE files for use of @p and @a
Bug fix on CUE: from INDEX format MM:SS:FF, handle FF as frames instead of hundreths

Small improvement on CUE: also accept INDEX 1 and not only INDEX 01
