Create Gapless Music with iTunes 4.9

I hate it when I buy albums off the iTMS, and the songs overlap, so that there is a slight gap where there would have been a smooth transition had I gone down to the local store and bought the same album on CD, cassette, LP record, or 8-track. That's why I think it's really cool that wanderingFocus has gone to the trouble to create a complete-with-pictures tutorial to Create Gapless CD's and AAC Files with iTunes 4.9. Nice.

Is it obscene that this makes me want to create one long gapless mix track comprised of thousands of individual songs that will be the only song that plays on my 60GB iPod?

Imagined scenario:
ME: I filled up my 60GB iPod today.

RANDOM OTHER PERSON (R.O.P.): Whoa, dude! I haven't even managed to fill up my iPod shuffle yet! How many songs do you have on that thing?

ME: One.

R.O.P.: *head explodes*

ME: Crap.
