/enter the newbie...

I have downloaded Slimsever to have a look before i get a Sqeezebox2
but i am a little confused at to how the gappless playback works.

I know that FLAC and OGG support it, but how does the player know it's
a gappless album or not? I plan to rip gapless and non-gapples ablums
in the same way - single OGG or FLAC files. Is there a setting in the
encoder/ripper that needs to be set? Or do i just rip my albums and
it's done automatically? I take it that the FLAC/OGG files all end
right at the end of the music in the track, i just don't get how the
Slimserver/Sqeezebox knows how next track should be played striaght
after the last file or if there should be a gapp inserted. Or am i
worrying about nothing and it's all handled at the time of ripping?

Sorry for the newbie questions, i have very little experience with FLAC
and OGG and need to get things striaght before i fork out the money. If
i can't achieve gapless playback with ease i will have to stick to
burning CD's with Feurio and using my CD player!

And is there anyway at all i can instruct it to play my MP3 tracks
gapless?
