From the iTunes 7 release notes:
Gapless Playback
Live albums, classical works, or any work that sounds best when it’s continuous, now seamlessly transitions from one song to another.
I’ve been waiting for this one forever. I have a few albums that are like this, but when I listen to them in iTunes, I get an annoying skip inbetween tracks. But in order to get this on my iPod, I’m sure I’d have to buy a new one…
Geeks seem to have wet dreams over this feature. I personally like abrupt pauses in the playback of my albums.
i usually don’t listen to albums by themselves (i always use mixed playlists) so it won’t affect me too much… yet…
but it’s nonetheless a cool feature to have. 🙂
I normally listen to my music in shuffle as well, but I have a handful of albums that are designed to be listened to as one continuous chunk of music. In the past, I’ve had to rip them as one hour-long track…
