I have a few versions of Rhapsody on a... and they all play gapless even though the files are separate. Synology nas/Bifrost MB. Same through PS Audio NuWave dac.Try listening to Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" when all of the 26 variations are on individual tracks, most of them under two minutes in length. (For those not familiar with this work, the pieces are all played as one performance, straight through, no breaks.) Makes you want to chuck a player through the nearest window...or at the very least, convert a person to gapless playback. I'm not about to go through thousands of files and merge them so I can play entire classical works back with gapless.
I'm not a fan of it, but I would imagine that listening to the Goldberg Variations is just as frustrating. (Unless it's that early single-track Glenn Gould CD that Columbia released, where the CD marked the movements with CD's rarely-used "index" feature.)
Mine are ripped from cd so maybe that's the difference.
