I've read mixed reports on the Z5. How good was the gapless on that? Is it indistinguishable from the source CD?

Just curious.

That's the whole thing. The Gap is mid song. Gapless albums are just one long song cut down into tracks.

I didn't see it linked in this thread, though I'm guessing most of the pro-gapless crowd has already seen it: http://pretentiousname.com/mp3players/index.html

It's a very informative write-up about gapless playback by Leo Davidson. He added some updates in November covering the iPod's newfound gaplessness as well as the vibez. Check it out.

From the anecdotal comments I read online, it doesn't work. So unless I see/hear/read a valid confirmation, I will rule it out.

In this day and age, there really is no excuse for not having gapless.

As people have said before... my 10 year old CD player had gapless. Why can't my Cowon A2 be gapless? Once you've heard it, it's really hard to go back LOL

Any live show you listen to from archive.org or www.dimeadozen.org or via any trading vine, etc. is segmented but meant as a continuous experience. Gaps between tracks may as well be recording flaws, as the y re all y det r act f r om th e e xp erien ce.
