Yes, but no. I still want separate tracks. A cue will do, but still. In my case I have more than 128gb of albums, most of which need gapless. I always listened to them without problems on pc or smartphone. This player or many others won't do it for me. My solution is an android dap with a good player app

That's exactly how I feel about this. But I'm tired trying to explain it to people while it should be obvious. Looks like most people (I'm talking in general) don't really listen, and experience music (I mean listening an album as a whole, as the artistic concept of the author) but just jerk off new gear or listen to shuffle mode, which I don't understand, but maybe it's just me and a handful of people since dap manufacturers don't care enough about this. Anyway, sorry for the ot. I came here thinking that this Sony player would do for me, but I was wrong (I misread a review) hopefully I found something better and even cheaper for my needs
That's quite a bit of overgeneralisation and bull*. Most people around here have moved on to better formats years ago. And even just because someone doesn't care about small gaps between the tracks that doesn't means he/she is insane and doesn't listen to music as the artist intended. If there is no gapless and you have a 1-hour album with 10 tracks with half a second of silence in-between - that's less than 5 seconds of silence spread out through an hour of music. Come on! You can't honestly claim that 4,5 seconds ruin a 1-hour album and suddenly make it unlistenable and not as the artist intended. If anything the artists didn't intend their music to be listened in a compressed lossy format.
Better format may be relative. I can't hear the difference between a properly encoded mp3 and a flac, so I have no reason to waste space. Maybe it's my problem, but I challenge everyone doing a blind test like I did. And yes, a small gap will completely ruin the experience for me. But I finally found the player for me so screw everyone else. I'm good now
Well, as long as you are happy, that's fine. My issue is that you felt the need to come hete and overgeneralise ridiculous stuff like people here not appreciating the music unlike you which is akin to that southpark episode with the people smelling their own farts.

Ahah I appreciate the quote (in the previous message I almost wrote "screw you guys, I'm going home") but maybe I didn't explain myself correctly (also English is not my first language so I might have made even more mistakes) it's true I was mostly talking about myself, but it's also true, and that's a fact, that very few care about this functionality. AND I also think that a lot of times who smells their own fart are people listening to the gear and not to the music. But again, it's a very peculiar case, and in most case listening to lossless solve this problem automatically. So it's highly subjective. I was more angry about how hard it is to find a dap with this ability, I tried many in the years and it was always a let down so I always went back to the smartphone (which has other issues tho) I'm so happy I found a cheap android dap now. I hope it makes sense. And sorry again for the ot
I never had a problem finding gapless for my PC.
