I'd still like to see them do something about increasing the
available speed for NLS books. Maybe if I bring this up often
enough, they'll at least say something.

This is not as clear cut as you'd like it to be.
Of course, live recordings and audiobooks sound better if there's no
pause inserted between tracks.
The problem is that the booksense doesn't know if you're listening to
something that should have a pause inserted or not.
How would you like it if your studio recordings, playlist entries, and
anything with random playback, were smushed together with no pause?
There are several ways to solve this, none of them perfect.
* Leave things the way they are.
* Change it so that there is never a gap between songs.
* Come up with a global "insert pause between recordings" option.
* Come of with a way of indicating which albums are gapless.
I consider this a feature request, not the urgent bug this thread is
trying to make it out to be.
