New update for Ipods has made them Gapless, so now all the prog albums play correctly.
This is amazing!!
Gapless = no second gaps between songs
And i put this in non-music prog lounge because it is directly related to music, and it is also directly related to prog music but i knew id get crushed if it were in prog lounge. -------------  "Only the sun knew why"

Sorry, its not the new ipods its the new software, so you just have to update your old ipods or itunes and it will work! ------------- "Only the sun knew why"

I guess your wish came true. That still doesn’t even come close to compensating for all the other problems with ipods. -------------

Yep, I'd heard the news too. Keep an eye on the following Web site, as Leo Davidson is about to update his detailed report on the new gapless players (see UPDATE NOTICE at the top of the page).

| Can you get Windows Player or whatever to do the same yet? |

^ just use Winamp, and you can do anything. Gapless playing, crossfading etc. ... no problem.

My ipod won't play out of the right speaker of my headphones unless it is pressed very hard to the right (the headphone jack)...and yes, its not the headphones, because they work on every other thing and any other set of headphones does the same thing -------------

I have a 6GB player and it's more than enough. My entire collection will never fit on a mobile player ... I know, the drives get bigger and bigger, but so does the audio quality of the files. If I had a 60GB player, I'd use WMA Lossless instead of mp3!

Cool, but I had assumed you could play them gapless anyway? I know I can with my Creative mp3 player (bought it inexpensively in Hong Kong more than year ago). I want a spyPOD! http://www.scifi.com/eureka/madeineureka/products/portables/ - eyePOD Spy Satellite Tracker (click) |

Lost Chord, you gotta tell us what happens when you get into this guys classroom again. Maybe take the high road; tell him not to feel bad, many great ideas were laughed at.

| My iPod Nano is not gapless, but the small gap between songs really doesn't bother me. If this gapless feature is going to increase the price I will be considering buying another brand when I need to buy a new mp3 player. |

You should buy another brand anyway - especially if you don't need the proprietary functions (iTunes-DRM). Make sure you buy a player which is compatible with Microsoft-DRM (playsForSure). ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

It doesn't cost anything. It was just one of the features in the latest iTunes update (there was some other very cool stuff in it too). ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Hahahaha...I told him, spoke to him a view times already, he simply laughed and apologised and was baffled at the fact that it happened.
My birthday just passed and i decided to spend anything i got on my brand new $350 80GB ipod video! This thing is truly amazing, now that it is gapless  ------------- "Only the sun knew why"
