No, itsÂ* a feature of many bits of playback software. Some can manage
gapless playback like later versions of Winamp, and also a program
called foobar2000. Apparently it should also be in VLC version 4 when
that is out of beta.

I'd have gone with rubbish firmware.

Compressed music has to be a whole number of blocks. Good software would
move the track marker a tad to make sure there isn't a bit of silence
between the files.
