I've opened this thread to create a list of the Atmos mixes that require gapless playback. This list might be useful to users who want to rip their collection and choose to do so using MKA files with an associated CUE sheet.
I rip all my discs and I can only count a very few releases that would require gapless playback (and MKV or MKA ripping rather than an M4A conversion to individual songs/files).
My preliminary list:
Beatles, The - Abbey Road
Fripp, Robert - Exposure
Fripp, Robert - Discotronics/Under Heavy Manners (in theory, this should be gapless, but there's silence between tracks anyway)
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 3D, The Catalogue (ENG, GER)
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
Zappa, Frank - The Grand Wazoo & Waka/Jawaka Box Set
I have deliberately excluded from this list streaming-only titles because the gapless playback issue only applies to lossless rips from Blu-ray discs in M4A (with individual tracks/files). This can be solved using an MKV or MKA rip with a CUE sheet.
Please add all the titles I might have forgotten to this list. I think I'll have a bit of re-ripping to do in the coming weeks.
