It's 2010 and Sansa Clip + can't do gapless!

Can’t do gapless?  I have FLAC, MP3, and WMA albums on the Clip+, and enjoy the albums just fine.  Dark Side Of The Moon, a favorite, plays well, without incident.  Granted, one can bemoan gapless capability, but I’d rather enjoy the music.

 


 

 

Gapless audio decoding seems to have become tremendously more mainstream over the years, with multiple decoders and a lot of hardware out there that supports it.  A large fraction if not an outright majority of mp3 files in existance are now gapless capable, and from a technical stand point its not a particularly difficult feature to implement.  You just parse the field from the tag header, and then chop that many samples off.  Is it on Sandisk’s todo list and just waiting for some overworked programmer to get around to it or is there just not enough demand for it to be worth the complication?
