VLC is surprisingly terrible for audio. It struggles to read tags and almost never auto-sorts properly, it cuts off the end of tracks, there's no ability to play without gaps, etc.
- Minor49er 5y agoI use VLC as my primary audio player. While I can't speak to the sorting and tagging issues, I can't say I've ever heard it cut off ends of tracks or play without gaps. Maybe those are related to your sound buffer settings
- bryans 5y agoGapless playback won't be available until VLC 4. Audio getting cut off at the end has been a known issue for 10 years, and will apparently be fixed in v4, as well. I realize that I could be running the nightly to fix the audio issue, but then I'm just trading for other existing v4 bugs -- and these fixes were only implemented very recently into the nightly, so for me at least, VLC has still been a very subpar audio player. https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25181 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25181 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/549 https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/549
