With every PC MP3 player I've ever used, there is a noticeable transition moment between two consecutive tracks/files. I listen to continuous DJ mixes with some frequency, and so I'm wondering how bad the transition skip is on the available MP3 CD player compared to (say) MusicMatch JukeBox on a PC.

For those of you who have it, do you have any CDs like that which you could test? Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon has some continuous transitions, also, IIRC...

Ditto the gap. It dorks up all of my Kruder and Dorfmeister MP3s. It would be nice if someone designed a unit with a buffer to allow seamless track transition...

Thanks, guys.

Well, that definitely makes me lean towards getting the changer, then...
