Gapless playing with walkman app? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
I have the Walkman 5.0.A.0.11 app on my ICS Xperia, and I find the gap between tracks really annoying (~0.5 to 1 sec).
I've read somewhere the latest xperias have gapless reading of audio files.
Is there a trick to enable this? A more recent app?
TIA,
Ludo

I have the arc and a walkman app, but there's no gap between songs :/ Maybe the issue is the version of the walkman. Which mod is it? It may depend on the different mods of walkmans around here

Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM.

I believe the developers has to fix the bug, its not an issue with just the Play, but the app has not been updated for a while.

Yeah I believe the developer too.
On stock ics sony beta, Cm9 music use more ram, its about 33mb when playing musics, dspmanager about 5mb. I don't know if I use cm9 rom...
Can you try with 'Forced disable scroll caching' (Performance)?
Also, any idea where to get the latest version or an official page for it, I have no idea if my version is the latest.

[Q] Sony Walkman app

I'm looking to get Sony Walkman mod to work on t-mobile s4.
I want to use Sony's equalizer and it's clear bass feature.
Has anyone got this mod or app working?
If so then then you can you confirm which custom rom and kernel you used (and which recovery).
I have the files from another thread. For developers I can link them so that you can try to get them to work on t-mobile version of s4.

It will NOT work or not work properly.
Even with the S3 which the sony walkman mod was made for it never worked properly.
Most of the settings/features did not even show up at all, no equalizer, clear bass and
no downloading of music art/albums from imdb or any other place.
None of the devs ever really completed the ported Walkman mod, all it did was play music
without any of the features which most other music players have.

Thanks!
That's sad. IMO this is one of the most valuable mods for audiophiles. I spend mad money a year on expensive headphones and audiophile music players (I have several Sony walkman lol), etc.
I would have no problem giving a generous donation to something like this. Don't know why it wasn't finished. Maybe I should get an Experia phone.

Problem with Xperia S, Walkman app, A2DP and Poweramp

Hi, I need some help with an issue I've been suffering for a while.
My phone: Sony Xperia S, unlocked bootloader. ROM: Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL V3.4 T-Core Kernel.
The problem appears with the original Sony ROM and every 4.1 ROM Based on the original ROM that has walkman app.
I can stream music with my phone to the car radio (A2DP) using walkman app. No problem (except the bad sound quality that app has)
Well, When I try to stream from another app (like poweramp) it doesn't work. The player is working a playing music but nothing sounds and the LCD of the stereo shows "Searching.."
The only way to make it work is:
While Power amp is playing music I start walkman app and push play, I listen to music from wakman app on the car and poweramp pauses, then I pause walkman app, music stops, and LCD of the stereo shows "BT Pause". Then I push play on poweramp and music is playing on the car, and LCD still shows "BT Pause".
I think something is wrong with Walkman app and how sony use de android API.
This problem is solved when I use 4.2 custom ROMS, but camera driver doesn't work very well.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my broken english.

[Q] Gapless playback on WALKMAN app?

Hi all,
Is anyone else having trouble with gapless playback on the Walkman app? I did a search and it appears that there was an update in July that introduced gapless playback - so I would have assumed the Z1C would have the latest version... But every album I play there is a gap between each track when it should be seamless.
Playing the same album on Google Play I don't have an issue and it plays the album as it should with no gaps.
I've started using Google Play Music instead for this reason, however I'd prefer to use Walkman, but the lack of gapless playback is a deal breaker.
If anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

In any external application I dont see a significant change..Someone can tell me there a way to measure the output of audio ?
seems that the dsse funcion work in spotify, if you go to the audio seetting of spotify e select the eq, will pop up the sony eq pannel with the dsse fuction active if you'll have enable it.
fot hr question of the benefit of the dsse it works great on low quality music and personaly i exclude it cause i use flac file, but in low quality mp3 you'll hear the difference with the dsse on or off
Have you tried with/without DSEEHX in multiple app with the same song in Spotify ?
'Cause for me sound is clearly different with/without it
But it seems it does not work on Soundcloud & Youtube :/
Rebirth of the topic. Anyone know if the DSEE HX function works in Spotify now?? Thanks
