I just downloaded iTunes 7. You can configure each track in your
library for "Part of a Gapless album". (You can select multiple tracks,
or your whole library, and set this too.)

Listening to a mutliple track "Also sprach Zarathustra" and so far it
has played the tracks flawlessly (no gaps).

I am not sure yet if there will be updated software for 5G (and other)
iPods to have this capability.

We don't know yet for sure about this. It's possible there will be an
updated firmware for this but there might have been some hardware
dependencies related to power.

Yep!

Don't see it yet on Amazon.com, where I could list the unit of my choice on
the gift registry, as I have a birthday coming up next week....

I should at least go to the Apple Store to check it out.

Happy birthday, Matthew! I wish I could buy you (and me)an Ipod, but

No, the 1.2 software for the 5G adds gapless playback, support for iPod
games, display Brightness, and the large display of the first letter
when searching through lists quickly. I listened to "Also sprach
Zarathustra" in the car this evening and the gapless plaback worked. (I
had to tag all the files with this attribute in iTunes).

Huh, a friend tried last night and it didn't work on his
previous-version iPod video... Interesting. Maybe he didn't tag the
files though...

It was much better than "Cats." I'm going to see it again and again.

Why so? I gave the specific condition under which I would actually
consider purchase. They have now met that condition. Now all I need is to
fit it into my budget.

I had to switch my audio input from Total Recorder to my audio card to avoid
getting an "Itunes Application could not be opened. An unknown error
occurred. (0x666D743F)" error. The error occurred after a successful
installation. I would invoke Itunes, accept the agreement, and get the
error. I tried the standard tricks (reinstalling, repairing, emptying temp
files, etc) before finding the tip about Total Recorder in one of Apple's
Itunes discussion forums. Don't know if this is the problem Richard is
referring to.

After the fix, I was gap-free...at least with my test case of Ravel's Ma
Mere l'Oye. Don't yet know how this will effect playing the same songs on my
Ipod.

As i indicated in my previous email, after the upgrade to version 7, Itunes
was able to seamlessly play the tracks to Ravel's Ma Mere l'Oye. I copied
the songs to my 60-Gb photo Ipod, disconnected the Ipod and listened to the
tracks. Not so seamless :-( . I reconnected Ipod to the computer and did a
get info on the album. There was a box for gapless play with the value set
to No. I changed it to yes, disconnected Ipod from computer and listened
again to the tracks on the Ipod. Still a gap between the tracks.

When I connected the Ipod to the computer, Itunes displayed a status screen
for the Ipod indicating that it was up-to-date.

I agree with Richard that it's inconvenient to have to switch between Total
Recorder and my sound card, though I haven't used Total Recorder in a while
so it's not terribly inconvenient. I had never had a problem with Total
Recorder interfacing with any of my software before and would never have
considered it to be te cause of the Itunes problem until reading about it on
one of the forums.

Or maybe it's deliberate, so that users will not be able to use Total
Recorder in able to copy their DRM-infected files?

Yes, but only for 5G models.

Apparently, you don't need to set the tags for this. At least this is
the case on iTunes itself, and reports I'm getting say it's so for the
iPod too. Which makes me wonder why the tag is there...

Filled, I don't know.... I've seen some problems, but it's not clear
whether thy are caused by corrupted music files or something else.

Gapless is only available on video iPods.

I suggest you get the 80 GB model; it's not much more than the 30 GB,
and I have a feeling that you have a lot of music. You'll fill it
pretty quickly.

Well I am great fan of my Ipod but if you look on Ipod lounge and the Apple
support forums, the Itunes sections are filling up with complaints. I was on
the phone with three Apple techs yesterday and they couldn't help so I just
went back to 6.0.3..of course you can't use the music store with that but at
least I can sync my Ipod to Itunes - honestly, this major change in Itunes
should not have been released without further testing Richard..
