Hi, I'm a fairly new empeg owner. I have used gapless / seamless playback of mixed cd's with a winamp plugin called MP3CUE @ http://www.guerillasoft.com. When u play a large mp3 and it has a cue file within the same directory, it interprets the cue and provides track information. EAC can generate the cue file upon ripping into a large mp3. I hope someday the empeg guys can implement this, by reading the cue file with emplode or whatever, then embedding the track info for the mp3 into the music database and when the track is played we'll have seamless playback for good... I have hundreds of albums based on cuesheets.
