That's also my current pet hate with MP3 players. For example, it
interrupts through-composed opera intolerably.

It's certainly possible to encode MP3s with a "--nogap" setting (LAME)
but the number of MP3 players which will reproduce this properly is
very limited. I hope more will appear on the market soon.

The only solution I have found so far is to copy a time range spanning
the required multiple tracks from the CD using Goldwave or similar.

Yes. I run a custom script to assemble tracks for the same reasons.
