As long as you just want to do this from sequential tracks from a CD or single source and set it up correctly when you rip the tracks they will be without spacing...if they are from separate sources or are not sequential

Useful tip, but I think it's still a bit pants. The guys that write WinAmp eliminated the 'gap' on their MP3 playback way back in 2000 by pre-caching it and starting the next song just as the last one stopped - thus any overhead from the codec starting again on a new song was cut down to an absolute minimum. That said it didn't always work and some songes overlapped by a few 10th of a second - which is almost as annoying :o). It is very hard to eliminate, because, I assume, the format, complexity and waveform of the opening part of the song varies so the codec probably takes fractionally different times to get going. I've manage to tune my iTunes settings to eliminate it a bit using the cross-fader but the settings on that aren't accurate enough to allow it to be anything other than a rudimentary fix.
