Hello Lethal,
I've just recieved a new color ipod and am really enjoying it.
My one HUGE complaint is that it is apparently incapable of gapless playback. I have many hours of live recordings and the gaps madden me to the point where i cannot enjoy the music. Apple has apparently ignored pleas for a firmware upgrade in this area. I think we need a brilliant codr to fix this problem!!!!
It's not really a problem for me, but I can see how it could be a problem for others. I agree, it is kind of annoying having to wait nearly 5 seconds on some songs to listen to them.

The waiting is not the point,it's only momentary, a split second, 2 seconds at most.It's the break in the flow of the sounds of a concert.
Someone help, please!!
Hehe. I have dabbled with the iPod's firmware out of interest, but not to this extent ;-)
You are best off merging the tracks into one single file which will allow 'gapless playback', although without the navigational ability of being able to skip tracks.
