I came across this definition tonight when researching digital audio apps: POTENTIALLY THE CORRECT TECHNICAL TERM FOR THE GAP I DISCUSS ABOVE....
from: http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ 02/13/07
Q:
What are gaps (pre-track gaps)?
A:
When playing an audio CD in a standalone player, often the time display will show up negative values before actually starting a track. This gap is usually used for seperate two different tracks. If jumping to a specific track, it will start with the actual music, only when running into a track the gap occurs.
--end snip---
So, I haven't found anything else to retain the 1-2 second gaps on original CDs. Therefore it looks like I need to trick itunes to add a "blank" track between song when I playback full albums via itunes (akin to a "clear.gif" in html !!). Every album does not need this but some really do to sufficiently space the songs.
