They were a panic job, written over the past two days, with no previous significant experience with either app, and no experience at all with Ubuntu. I ran the Heron from a live disc and employed ALSA for its sound system. Everything worked nicely, I had a lot of fun (and some excitement) with the system, and I gave both programs positive reviews. Btw, these reviews are rather brief, about 2000 words each, they were not intended to be in-depth analyses. I liked a lot of Rhythmbox's features, and the program handled my needs neatly enough, but I have a relatively small collection of files and CDs, perhaps only a few thousand titles in all. IIRC gapless playback can be activated from the Preferences dialog but it is not on by default. Sorry, I didn't test it. :( Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
