    Ipod - 2sec gap on albums

    Hi,

    Currently have a 3rd gen Ipod. V.happy with it - except when playing an album that doesn't really have gaps between tracks - i.e. Pink Floyd or something of that ilk. It still pauses between the tracks.

    Does anyone know for sure if this is different on the 4th gen models ?

    Thanks in advance.

    mine does the same, Chris' gen 4 does the same its just due to the time it takes to read the data off the next track thats all if you want it without gaps you will have to rip the whole album as one track :/

    it's called "buying an ipod"

    this is a known problem apple have no desire to fix

    if gapless playback matters to you, sell the ipod and buy a rio karma

    http://www.pretentiousname.com/mp3players/ has detailed analysis explaining the phenomenon

    Yep, ditch the iPod and get a Karma for lovely gapless playback, ethernet interface, and a cool blue cradle
