It's absolutely essential to have if you enjoy listening to full albums, and that means no iPod for me.

That, as well as being forced to use iTunes (I'm waiting for good technology to come to a 20GB that allows native Windows Explorer use AND kickass battery life) are the main reasons why I'm not getting an iPod, but that brings me to why I'm replying to you, Bingle:
What MP3 players DO allow gapless playback? I listen to almost all live concert CD's exclusively and I really don't want to deal with even a second of gap.
I was thinking about the IAudio M3L, but there's issues with the file management and playback that killed that for me.
Am I asking for much in a unit that costs $250~300? I want good battery life, small, 20GB, native Windows Explorer or MP10 functionality and a decent UI. I guess I'll just have to wait longer.
