I like to listen to live music, where tracks often tend to meld together. iTunes has always stuck a gap in between those tracks and it just kills me. Here is a quick solution for getting rid of it. I can't believe I had never thought of doing this.

Thanks for sharing Jeremy. I always wondered about that. I guess I just didn't spend enough time through the preferences.
#2 - Tue Apr 4, 2006 7:31 PM EDTThis trick is just lame. It does not fix the gap. Maybe it helps a bit with listening to live tracks, but for mixes only the "stich together tracks" works. For live-tracks a longer crossfade than zero usually helps a lot. I always keep mine at 6 seconds or so.

#4 - Tue Apr 4, 2006 9:06 PM EDTI am normally listening to live stuff by Phish, Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, etc -- concerts taped by fans, and they can split tracks up at odd places, especially when a tease or slice of a song is sandwhiched in between others. For instance, when Gov't Mule plays "Mule" to "I've Been Working" then back to "Mule" in a seemless manner. A 1 second crossfade doesn't really make sense there (much less a 6 second fade).

For some of my live albums I've taken some tracks and set them to end a half-a-second sooner, and the next track I set to begin a half-a-second later. This trick sometimes works when burning a CD or listening on an iPod too!
