Detailed review
Gapless playback - who cares? I do! Maybe you too? I had iPods before this and wanted each and everyone of them to play gapless songs from dj mix cds or certain classic albums without resorting to multi-song single audio files. I even contemplated installing Rockbox on a 4th gen to get a taste of gapless playback. Honestly it was my biggest complaint against iPods, as much as I loved them. And then Apple just rolled it (gapless playback) out without much fanfare. Only took 4 years/5 generations to arrive. Yes, video etc. was cool, but the gigantic flaw was fixed for me starting with this iPod.
