Hey Guys,
I know that the not existing gapless playback of the HM-801 and HM-602/1 is a huge letdown for a lot of persons including myself. Now those players are capable of playing cue sheet files. In essence this means that you rip a music CD as one large track and the cue sheet will tell the player exactly when a song starts and ends so therefore you can jump to each seperate song within the file of your ripped CD.
Many members have expressed problems with this procedure (and so have I), but I know figured out how to work this correctly on my Mac:
First of I use a programm called XLD which receives very frequent updates. It will make bit correct rips of your CD, which you will want if you are already going the lossless route. Now when you are on the title screen selecting what songs should get converted you have a drop down menu where you can choose just how the conversion shall work. Here you need to choose "Save all titles as one image file (+cue sheet)".
Once it's done you can simply copy all your music to you player and select the cue sheet file from the proper menu. Mind you that you will have to use the right arrow button vice the select button as usual to start playing the desired song out of the cue sheet file.
Hopefully this is helpful for a few people here.
