See photo below for an example - two tracks I got from of a Jack White show I recently went to. Any ideas if this can be corrected?įor the record, this doesn't happen with 320 kbps MP3 files, and normally that would be the solution but I would much rather keep everything in 256 kpbs AAC because I'm that sort of guy. The problem is not particular to any one album or recording, but anything that I convert that flows or segues. AIFF or Apple Lossless files, but it down converts it to AAC, and the skips are still there. I've even tried uploading to my Music Cloud some uncompressed.

I've tried converting with XLD, Audacity, and even the Music app itself, but the results are the same. I've tried checking the 'add gapless information for iTunes' box on XLD to no avail. When I convert the files, it adds about 0.4 seconds of silence at the start, and about 0.17 seconds of random, inaudible noise at the end of each track, which causes an audible 'skip' when playing tracks that flowing or segue back-t0-back (like a live concert). Normally it works no problem - I convert the FLAC files wtih XLD (sometimes dithering them down if they're Hi-Res, sometimes not), and import them to Apple Music / iTunes, and then they upload. I have been trying to convert some FLAC downloads to AAC to import them to my Apple Music library for easy listening on-the-go.
