Gaps between tracks on bootlegs?

Is it normal to have a pause between each track? I just downloaded the South Carolina show and there is a gap between each track

    I downloaded the nugs.net app and downloaded the show. I then put it in itunes and I'm getting the gaps between tracks.

    My Telluride download has gaps, but none of the others I've downloaded from this tour have them.

    I think it is an itunes issue. Which is upsetting. I got a new computer and had to reinstall itunes. I have a ton of live albums and now they are sporadically playing gapless.

    Gaps are not a random thing, folks.. mp3 tracks have silence at the start and end of each file, that cause the gaps you're talking about.
    Lossless flac/hd flac don't have this issue, and so they will play gapless if burned on cd (or dvd, for hd flac)..

    Some players support gapless playback regardless of format. I wouldn't be surprised if iTunes isn't one of them, but then I haven't used iTunes in a decade because of stupid shit like that.

    With mp3 it just requires a bit more work to buffer sequential tracks. Portable devices have battery life as an excuse to not do this. Desktop programs have no excuse but laziness.

    I have 1000+ live shows on my portable drive in mp3, alac, flac, etc. - the live mp3s are setup to play gapless when they were originally created (either by the band or the taper). Unless in the case of itunes - it doesn't always work properly, but it definitely is not just an mp3 thing. It was never really a problem before. Just with the new itunes - it doesn't seem to be working properly.

    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    As of iTunes 12, all songs are automatically tagged as gapless. iTunes has supported gapless for a long time as an option.
