Perhaps I wasn't clear about the CENSORED. It does do gapless, but only via trickery on the server side. It doesn't do it on the fly. You must specifically mark the tracks in iTunes to be gapless, and then it tags the tracks in a special way so that the player can overlap them properly without having to do any processing on the files. I don't actually know what it's doing to accomplish this, but I know that the player doesn't try to do it on the fly.

This isn't a bad solution for gapless at all; it works quite well, I'm told. I'm just saying it's not the player doing it all by itself the way the empeg 3.0 software is doing it.


I understood the opposite to be true. I don't own an iPod, but, AFAIK, the gapless flag in iTunes is only used to tell iTunes what tracks not to crossfade when listening to them from iTunes. Other than updating the firmware, I don't believe there are any manual steps required at all to make the iPod honor gapless transitions.
