Hi all... I'm using Exact Audio Copy to do my ripping and encoding (well, EAC runs LAME to do the encoding.) Anyway, EAC has an option to analyse the "gaps" in between tracks and save them as part of the songs, or to leave them out. Is this desirable? I guess the theory is that if I was listening to the entire album, and I had gapless playback (I know, we don't yet) then the album would sound exactly as intended with the proper gaps between tracks. But is there a problem with just leaving these gaps out? Or do the songs kind of run together or abruptly change? I know it's picky, but if I'm going to do all this ripping, I want it to sound right...
