MacOS 10.14.6
Audacity 2.4.2
This is been addressed on multiple occasions, I see, but no answer is working for me.
1. I have imported a .wav file into Audacity.
2. I have deleted unwanted silent breaks so that the file plays exactly as I want it.
3. I have inserted 12 point (not region) labels for 12 songs.
4. I have tried exporting multiple files as .wav and .aac and then imported into iTunes 12.9.5.5.
5. When played by iTunes, there is a split second silent gap where each label was placed.
6. I have this problem with no other albums in iTunes; they all play appropriately gapless.
Is there really a way to export multiple files from Audacity without creating gaps?
Gapless audio....again

Re: Gapless audio....again
Do you have gapless playback enabled in iTunes?
Have you tried importing the WAV files into iTunes then letting iTunes convert them to AAC?

1. I have used gapless in iTunes for as long as it has existed. (At first iTunes didn't offer gapless.)
2. I imported the files into iTunes as .wav and the gaps existed when I played them, so it seems pointless to convert the files to AAC within iTunes.

FYI, I checked to confirm my belief, and I appears that everything in iTunes has been gapless by default since at least 2016. Something in files exported from Audacity seems to defeat the gapless default.

Re: Gapless audio....again
If you import the WAV files back into Audacity are gaps visible or audible?
