Does anyone know how to get rid of, or play through, an entire CD/MP3 without the annoying "blank spots" between tracks.
Listening to albums that don't really have any pauses such as Pink Floyd's Endless River and others is very annoying with those blank spots.

It's something that used to be required on CD's but is no longer required. You can choose to not have that skip now when you make a CD now. Companies like CDBaby can do this.

Thanks I'll look into that. I was about to import said albums into Audacity and edit the offending clicks etc out, but that's a lot of work.

Generally when you rip an album to MP3 or make a CD from MP3s there should be an option to include the blank spaces or not.

Thanks madmike. i'll re-rip these CD's and look for that option.
I ripped these a long time ago and am still not too computer savvy.

You'd either rip it with the gap removed (EAC + LAME/FLAC can do this, but can be picky, test before doing all your collection) or rip as one track and create a cue sheet that defines the tracks for playback.
