I've never noticed this gap problem with iTunes. When 'loading up' a
music file or CD, it goes through a process, which is long the lines of
'looking for gapless recordings', that seems to leave the recording as
intended. Just like LP in fact :-)

Is this the difference between AAC and MP3, or something more clever? I
thought that the gaps were an inherent feature of the MP3, but sometimes
sidestepped by the player.
I usually work around this on my PC using media player by setting the
tracks to crossfade, with the overlap zero seconds.
My not-an-ipod mp3 portable still puts gaps in though.
