OK, from my experience with gapless:

Native formats:
WAV/PCM works fine
MP3 won't - even if you use a recent LAME version to add the gapless
tags the MP3 decoder on SB2 ignores them
FLAC is basically fine, but there is a currently outstanding bug which
spoils some transitions. I expect it to be fixed soon though :)

Transcoding:
I've tried transcoding FLAC & Vorbis to WAV/PCM and it works perfectly.

Transcoding Vorbis to FLAC seems to work as well.
Transcoding anything to MP3 won't work (see above).
I haven't tried transcoding MP3 to anything - it may work as it's LAME
doing the decoding.


So, if you have MP3s now, you might have luck transcoding to PCM or
FLAC, but I don't have any suitable files to test with - it also won't
work unless your files were ripped properly with a recent LAME version.
If you're going to rerip, pick a format which actually supports gapless,
like FLAC or Vorbis.

And heaven help you if you mention it on ipodlounge. That's why my
money goes to Slim and Rio (RIP) - they make players which actually
work properly.
