I'm also a stickler for bug/feature nomenclature correctness ;)  MP3 is
not a natively gapless format, so gapless MP3 support (via nonstandard
LAME tags) can only be considered a feature.  Problems with gapless
FLAC and Vorbis playback would be correctly called bugs.

Nevertheless, it's a nice feature.

Also, I fully realize that gap-hating is subjective, although part of
it may be musical preference.  Many classical CDs separate one musical
piece into multiple tracks (for movements, etc).  Perhaps you would
feel more rage if the gaps happened several times DURING a song, rather
than between songs?
