Winamp will do gapless just fine (and I'm not talking about crossfading) - it just needs a little config, as will foobar and most other decent software players (e.g. JRiver). Note I didn't mention iTunes ;)

The problem with it is that you have to encode the whole album at one time, so it knows which order the tracks should go in and can work out the splits. With some rippers (e.g. EAC) this isn't possible. Of course you can rip to wav and then do the compression as a second step, but that's not ideal for most people. The second problem, as you mention, is that the breaks end up in the wrong place. Not usually a problem for DJ mixes as the break point is pretty arbitrary anyway, but more significant for other genres. > > 2.
