iTunes : Slight "hiccup" on 0 second gaps
When I play music in iTunes, I set the crossfade to zero seconds, and the album plays thru with absolutely no gaps.
but when I burn it with a "0 second" gap, there's a noticeable hiccup between the track change .
anyone else experiencing this? Sometimes Toast doesn't do the job either. I'd rather not waste two CDs

I wonder why it is that iTunes(and soundjam) do this?
edit: I realize you are talking about burned CDs here, I've noticed that this issue has stretched over to CDs that I have burned as well, but I don't burn many CDs so it's a moot point for me there.
btw, it seems there is a post about some sort of 'no gap' thing EVERY DAY! granted this one is different, but still....

As someone who burns mostly live concerts, I know a little bit about this. However annoying you find these small gaps in regular music, it's 10x worse on a CD of a live show.
Short of combining all the tracks on the CD into one, iTunes will always have audible gaps between tracks. And, I prefer to have my CDs properly tracked so I can skip, repeat, cue/review, etc.
So, I use Toast, with all gaps set to 0 sec. (except for the first track, which must be 2 sec.).
A helpful hint is to check the "Create file names with track number" box under Importing in your iTunes prefs. That way, you can drag all of a CD's tracks from its Finder folder into the Toast window at once, and track order will be preserved. Otherwise, Toast tries to be "helpful" by alphabetizing the tracks for you...

I've used Toast to do it before, and once in awhile, it'll result in the same thing .... ? Though, less frequent than iTunes. \
