I'm looking for a headunit that is able to play mp3s without providing
moments of silence between each mp3 to load the next one.  I don't see why
manufacturers can't figure out how to do this.

Does anyone know of any that have this capability or one of the 05 models
that might be able to do this?

Thanks,
Don

My Alpine doesn't present any gaps that I did not include in a cuesheet
when playing back mp3's. Are you sure it's not your disks?

Agreed, MusicMatch (what I use for burning) has an option for including a 2
second gap between tracks.  Whatever your using to burn your disks is likely
doing the same.

I don't think that is it, because mine does this too but not when I play the
song, even when I skip to a specific track.  I think whatever memory or
program the headunit uses to decode .mp3s just isnt powerful enough to do so
as fast as a PC.

I know what he means, my car does it too, but I don't mind it, he means when
the headunit is reading the file of the next .mp3 song, there is a pause
just slightly longer than a regular CD pause inbetween songs.

Nothing to do with the player, it's how you make the discs.

It's the player; some stick a pause in, some don't.  I use a nomad zen for
mp3; it doesn't stick a gap between sings.

He is not talking about an MP3 player he is talking about a headunit that
reads MP3 files burned onto a CD-R/RW.

Right.  Some players can play with no delay; some can't.
