Hi, Nico
I noticed the same problem back in May and contacted Fidelia support. Here is my report and their reply:
Hi, Guys
I have experimented with several music players over the past months, and have inclined towards a preference for Fidelia because of a combination of its sound and stability.
However, there is one feature that both surprises me and makes it impossible to use for serious listening. This is the fact that silence at the end of a track is ignored, which means that all the tracks on an album simply run into each other, even when there is a clear artistic need for a "breathing space" between the tracks, as for example, between movements in a symphony.
A simple example is the first two tracks on Abbey Road. 'Come Together' lasts 4 minutes and 40 seconds, the last 8 seconds of which is silence. However, Fidelia moves on to the next track 5 seconds before the track ends, which means that this next track, 'Something', starts far too soon after the fade of 'Come Together'.
Is this something that can be changed?

Hello Paul,
I'm glad to hear that you like Fidelia.
We are, in fact, looking into revising the gapless playback engine to resolve issues like this. I can't give a specific ETA yet, but I'm hoping this will be addressed soon.

So, as you can see, it's a known issue, which was not resolved with the recent release.
Cheers
Paul
