In that case, it's fortunate that when I rip audiobooks from CDs I concatenate the tracks. For some reason I fail to comprehend, the producers of the audiobooks seem to think it is better to have lots of very short tracks, making it easier to skip to the right one. But some of them have track lengths so short (less than a minute in some cases) that a book may have more than 1500 tracks!

I concatenate them to one track per CD (an interesting process in itself... I used to do it C:> copy /b track01.mp3+track02.mp3+...+track99.mp3 outfile.mp3 until I figured out it was easier to just go c:> copy /b *.mp3 outfile.mp3. Surprisingly, the process works better if I don't remove the tags from the *.mp3 files before concatenation. If I do remove the tags first (with MP3 Tag Studio) I frequently get pops on playback where the files were joined together.
