Re: how to seamlessly play audio clip

Thank Curt! it's audio mp3 file, no video

i've tried your cvlc example, i notice pause when restart play

i'v just downloaded 60-minute white noise

it's longer than my old 10-minute file, it should solve my problem,

i have sleep problem, even small issue like restart pause can cause insomnia

You don't specify what species of file this is, but

mplayer -fixed-vo -loop 0

where '-fixed-vo' prevents reopening of the display (if indeed there is one)

between repeats might help.

I don't have mplayer so I can't verify experimentally.

I do have cvlc and tried

cvlc TAKE04.WAV --start-time 10 --stop-time 30 --repeat

and discerned no pause at the end (or at beginning).

As you're dealing with white noise, I see no pressing need to go all the

way to the end of the file (nor even to start at the beginning).

The above loops a twenty second slice.

Bonne nuit!
