there is one way around this, use a mp3 joiner to join the tracks where
there should be no pauses.

Hmmm, it may be that we just have to put up with that then. Oh, well, I
still like the BS for music and I love the fact that I can carry around
the nearly 600 albums that I've ripped so far in my pocket and listen to
any one of them in a few moments. Having unintended pauses in some CD's
that aren't supposed to have them is pretty small potatoes compared to
that amazing state of affairs.

Evan and all, let me first start off by saying I agree that there should
be no pauses in albums which are not meant to have pauses. However, the
reason CD players don't pause, even the cheap ones, is because there is
no encoding/decoding. Also, this is the way CD players just work. Just
to prove my theory however, I purchased a cheap $20 CD player which also
plays MP3 CDs. If I play Dark Side of the Moon as a regular CD, I get no
pauses on this cheap player. However if I play a CDROM with the MP3s of
the same, I do get the pauses. This is because the player is most likely
taking some time to decode before it starts playing. One could argue
that Winamp doesn't do this on the PC, but the PC has way more
processing speed and muscle than the BookSense. So at least in this
case, the CD player comparison to the BookSense can't apply.
Now I will go return the player.
Many thanks.

The pause between tracks may be fine for many albums, however there are
many others that are intended to be heard continuously, even though the
tracks may have separate titles. When I first mentioned this issue here,
Raul mentioned Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon as a particular
example where the pause between tracks diminishes the listening
experience. I can think of many others, both in the classic rock genre
as well as in several subgenres of electronic music where the pause
between tracks negatively affects the listening experience. And, as I
said, many albums were not intended to be heard with pauses between
tracks; so the Book Sense should not be inserting one. Whether there is
a pause between tracks is something that should be left up to the
creators of the music. Any portable CD player can play a CD the way it
was intended to be heard, that is, without pauses between tracks if that
is the way its creator wanted it to be heard. The Book Sense should
function the same way for albums that were ripped from CD's.

I like the pause between tracks although it has been awhile since I
have played any music so I can't remember how long the pause is. I do
like a pause between tracks.
