How to play continuous music from mixed albums on itunes and ipod?

This is actually impossible.

There are folders "F00," "F01," and such. One song maybe in one folder, but the next song may be in a different folder.

At least that's how I think it works. Calling Apple Employees!

Those are the (hidden) folders on the iPod, not iTunes.

I have imported an album to iTunes and all the songs are mixed
Make sure Shuffle is turned off.
Also, click on the Album header or the track # header to sort. This is the order iTunes will play them back.

About the best you can do is to turn on Crossfade playback and set it to 0 seconds.

The iPod has a 64MB buffer (~20 minutes) so th elocation of the songs is irrelevant.
iTunes also has a buffer.

The iPod and iTunes is not set up for "gapless" playback which would eliminate the space betweens songs.

For gapless playback on Windows, it's as easy as foobar2000.

It's a pity that iTunes doesn't play back albums as one would expect, and I've communicated with Apple about this in a number of ways over the years, as have countless other users. I think the thing to keep in mind is that even if Apple corrected the inherent problems in iTunes and iPod, true gapless playback could still not be achieved except for files ripped directly from audio CDs in a gapless and lossless format (AIFF, WAV, Apple Lossless), or with files encoded using LAME or Nero's AAC encoder. This also means that every single album ever sold on the iTMS will never have the possibility of playing back without encoder-introduced gaps between tracks. Somehow I think it would go over like a lead balloon if Apple put out a huge press release stating that iTunes and iPod were now gapless playback-compliant, with the exception of any music bought from the iTMS or encoded with iTunes' MP3 and AAC encoders (in other words, pretty much anything in a given user's iTunes library). Well, I'd still be happy to hear the news, as I use LAME and Nero AAC 🙂

I finally bought my first iPod the other day, and knew what to expect from it. I've spent a vast amount of time preparing my music for gapless playback on the iPod, and I have to say it was a chore. My best friends along the way were PlexTools Professional, foobar2000 + foo cuesheetcreator, Nero Digital Audio Reference Quality MPEG-4 & 3GPP Audio Codec, my PowerMac G4, cuetools, and AudioBinder.

So, now I've got perfect gapless playback on my new iPod and in iTunes.

What I'm waiting for at this point is for <a href="http://music.morbo.org/wiki/dop:start"foo_dop</a> to make some more progress reading Nero chapters in MP4/M4A album images.

Gee, I missed an HTML tag in that last paragraph and now I appear to be functionally illiterate. The missing text and link referred to foo_dop.

Do you know where can i sugest apple for it on next iTunes update??

I actually did mean the iPod for my post, ya know.

For iTunes:
iTunes has to load the next song file, so it IS imposibile.

Join all tracks together to get mixed music to play continuesly without pause. Put cd in then highlight all songs and go to advance options then join tracks. Hope that helps.
