iTunes 11 - Gapless Albums not working
I have some "gapless" albums in my Library. This should mean that when playing the album back, no pause or gap should be heard between each track on these albums. Apparently iTunes 11 identifies gapless albums, and dissables "Crossfade Songs" for these albums automatically (if it is enabled). iTunes should then string all the tracks on the album together to create on long performance, with no gaps (unless the recording itself has some quiet moments).
In iTunes 11, I have found for my gapless albums, there is a gap (no sound) after one track finishes and the next one starts. Also, I have found the option to turn on or off gapless album no longer exists - apparently it never did turn gapless on or off anyway, see this URI

I switched off "Crossfade Songs" under "Playback Preferences" in iTunes Preferences, and then restarted iTunes. This made no difference, so I switched it back on again and restarted iTunes. Still, no difference - there are gaps.
Perhaps Apple should consider an option to "Enable" / "Dissable" / "Default" (Apple chooses the appropriate setting) gapless behaviour for each album, and let the listener decide and override if desired.
