MP3 album download question

   I think it depends on the player and the software. My MP3 player (a Samsung) inserts a very short gap between tracks which doesn't detract too much from the overall album. I have a feeling though that with some software you can reduce the gap to 0.

	I'm interested at some point soon in downloading some albums in mp3 format(probably to burn to disc but also to save for when I finally get an ipod). My question is this: If I download an album at some site(it doesn't really seem to matter which one)will it play like a full album or will it be broken up into individual songs? What I mean is most of the time it won't matter because it's usually pretty obvious where one song ends and another begins but with something like the early Moody Blues albums where each song seemlessly flows into the next I don't want to hear it in a way that loses it's continuity. Another example would be some of Genesis' "the lamb lies down on broadway." I want to hear the title track seque into "fly on the windshield" without any space in between. So how do downloaded albums usually sound? Is this usually a problem or do I have nothing to worry about?
