Some of you may have songs or albums that are actually all "one" so to speak. If any of you have tried listening to Cassandra Geminni by The Mars Volta, you'll know that it's all one long song, divided into 8 tracks. The song flows seamlessly, however, on my RH10 it does that little pause into the next part. It's very distracting. Any way to get rid of that?

Is the gap related to the way the player switches tracks, or the recording?

If it was the way the player switches tracks; I'd just rip it to a high bitrate MP3 first, then combine the tracks with goldwave, like sebastianbf said to do. That would insure that there are no gaps.

One other thing, in the SS settings there is an option to use smoothing when reading the CD, this interpolates the data stream by re-reading before and after the required sample to allow it to align them all together (needed if you have an old CD drive that cant read audio data correctly). Enabling this may help. Also if you import into SS, do NOT re-encode the audio as this introduces gaps (If you rip at Hi-SP, stick with Hi-SP as converting to LP2 etc WILL introduce gaps).

I thought that only ATRAC is gapless, MP3 isn't on a 2nd gen.

ATRAC is gapless if you transfer to MD at the identical bitrate you rip it at. Change the ATRAC bitrate and gaps are induced.

Ripping to mp3 automatically has gaps all the time. Even trimming the end of the mp3s and downloading to MD still produces the gaps on playback.

I never occured to me that someone might trancode ATRAC to ATRAC. Must sound terrible. Though its easy to do by accident in SS if you're not careful.
