Doesn't every version have gapless playback?


No version prior to 3 had gapless playback. MP3 format doesn't even support gapless playback but the Empeg people made it work anyway. As I understand it, MP3's are created using frames and each frame is 26ms long. So unless a track is exactly a multiple of 26ms long there will be a gap. Version 3 software looks at the last frame and starting at the point in the frame where the volume drops to zero removes the rest of that frame and jumps immediately to the 1st frame of the next track there by removing the gap. Ogg Vorbis has built in support for gapless playback but I would recommend that you stick with MP3 on the Empeg.
