Gapless playback?

A complaint is a complaint.  A bug report is a complaint, formalised.  The word doesn’t have to be taken as being pejorative and I apologise if I annoyed you or upset you.

Sound quality: 

Can you abx it?  Can you identify “thin and scratchy” when you don’t know which file is which?  I believed I could tell moderate bitrate compressed audio from lossless until I did some abx tests.  The unmistakable, clear, indisputable differences mysteriously vanished as soon as I had no idea which file I was listening to.  If you’re using Windows then foobar2000 has an abx plug in which should allow you to perform abx testing quite easily and reliably.

If you adjust the playback speed in Rockbox so that it is corrected can the perceived sound differences still be abx’d?
