Not loving this "gapless" iTunes thing

[Zoidberg]

FWIW, you can always re-rip the discs with proper gaps -- i.e., none. I've gone back to a few classic albums (like side one of "Dark Side of the Moon") and ripped certain segments as "track-at-once", which yields a single track of whatever songs you join. I guess to some that has it's downside, but everything's a yin/yang proposition anyhow.

And what M A V I C said; crossfade is great but not all the time.
