I agree. The problem with a gap, however small - is that it's a bit of a shock to be rudely jolted into the next song when you weren't expecting it! When that happens through an entire album, it kind of ruins the flow, and that isn't how it was meant to be heard anyway.

I actually wonder where gaps came from at all. I can guess, laziness.

I mean in the decades of recorded analogue music in the 20th Century, not a single format has added an additional pause.

Digital Music is a huge deal, like DVD to movies, but these gaps are like a blot on a Picasso.

Gapless is important, because sometimes the climax is at the end of the song, in which it flows into the next. This can be observed in Parabol / Parabola on Tool's lateralus cd. I'm waiting for that pure explosion after the final pent up energy in parabol, only to lose it all in that second of track change. The true anti-christ
