I have been reading up on the new iPod gapless support too, and it seems
like it’s the real deal :) I might at last be tempted.

Gapless is massively important to me too. For that reason i use ogg and
flac, but i do have a large number of old MP3s i would like play back
properly.

No offence to our American friends, but i also think there are regional
issues at play here too. Gapless music is way more important outside of
the US than many Americans like to realize. DJ culture is much bigger
in other countries. While rock and hip hop is the mainstay of US
mainstream music culture, Dance (make the 'electronic', dance has
different connotations in the US) is the mainstay in Europe and much of
the rest of the world. But that does not mean many rock CD's, audio
books, classical music does not require it.

With iTunes properly supporting it (and quite well it seems), as well
as the Sono’s too soon, it looks like the world has finally woken up to
its importance.
