stock headunit Q?

so I got the one that plays mp3's and has the in dash 6 player.. so my Q is, is there a way to defeat the 1-2 second pause between tracks?? So everyone knows pink floyd for instance and say track 1 is done is just runs into the next track without missing a beat.. Well my player adds this 1-2 second pause inbetween tracks and it is very enoying.. any help her or do i have to live with it?

I really dislike this feature.

So far, no solutions have popped up.

This seems like an easy firmware fix, if the people that make this unit could somehow be contacted.

Maybe it's not the head unit...

Those songs aren't meant to be played as separate MP3s. Your player isn't adding a pause... it merely treats them as separate music files, which they are. The pause is the player switching from one file to the next. If you want to listen to an album like that without interruptions, you'll have to make a standard audio CD out of the MP3s you have, and be sure to set the burning software in such a way that there are no pauses between tracks.

I know that's annoying, because nobody wants to trip on the transition between ZZ Top's "Waitin' for the Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago". Unfortunately that's just the nature of the beast. You're not going to have seamless transitions between MP3s. At least I've never seen it.

Mine does it with a store bought CD of Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon.

This CD plays without gaps on every unit I have played it in, except the head unit in my '05 F-150.

None of my gap-less CD's (mp3 or not) will play without gaps in this head unit.

In order to "fix" these CD's I had to re-do them as one continuous track.

It works, but it's a way of fixing it.

The player in my truck actually has the pause on any continuous-mixed cd.
