This is getting a bit off into the weeds.
Yes. Gapless (playback) and lossless (encode process) are two different things. Understood.
The first response in this thread provides links that DO connect the two…in some cases. A MicroSoft ‘engineer’ said:

Windows Media Player will allow you to rip Cd’s without gaps by selecting the RIP menu in Windows Media Player then FORMAT and select " Windows Media Audio Lossless".
Lossless is a format that is gapless.

That from a social answers microsoft website (this board wouldn’t allow the link)
The intent of quoting what summerlove said was to confirm that encoding in a lossless format (WMP codec in this case) did NOT result in a gapless playback on the Sansa Fuze.
Reading the Microsoft forum comment could lead you to consider trying it on the Fuze…I did (try it)…it didn’t (work).
