So you're saying that the current method of gapless playback on the empeg, even though it works fine (at least in my case, and currently I'm still running 1.03), is not true gapless playback?

It's possible on some -- maybe most -- transitions to get lucky, especially if there's nothing hard-to-encode spanning the transition. But in a future version the car-player software will (hopefully) get it correct in every case automatically.
