Gapless playback rules!

I was pretty excited when I heard earlier this week that Apple has added gapless playback to iTunes in version 7. They also said that the new iPods would have this feature, but they did not say whether this feature would make it into the existing iPods.

I updated to iTunes 7 yesterday, and today I let iTunes update my 5th gen iPod to software version 1.2. I tested on my iPod an album which I flagged for gapless playback, and ... surprise! It works perfectly! So nice.
