   Ok, then. . . .I've discovered that there is a LOT of posting on the   
   Internet about the whole issue of "gapless playback," or the lack of it in   
   Mp3 players.  In particular, there is a lot of griping about Apple, which   
   ignores the gapless issue in the design of its iPods. You can try   
   "crossfading" to limit the gap between songs, or you can rip the entire mix   
   as one track.  But these are workarounds, not real solutions.   
      
   Someone sent me information about software that eliminates the gaps between   
   mp3 tracks.  Thanks for that.   
      
   The truth is that manufacturers of digital audio players don't really see   
   dance mixes as much of a market.  They see the world of music as composed of   
   discrete, four-minute tracks, apparently.  Or that's what the existing   
   technology is good for, and that's what people seem to want, so why change?   
      
   The only existing DAP that handles "the gap" well is the Rio Karma, which is   
   now no longer produced (and isn't a flash-based player).  Still, I might   
   just get one.
