80's mix (uk)
This is mainly aimed at 40 somethings that loved the 80's like me (44). I recently bought Ministry Of Sound Electric Eighties hoping these tracks would be cleverly mixed together like other Ministry Of Sound CD's. Imagine my disappointment when they weren't.. I love clever mixes (Electro type), and that's what I'm after. Could anybody recommend any from the 80's? Also does anyone know of an MP3 player that will play CD's such as this seamlessly without putting gaps, however small, between tracks and ruining the mixes? My i-pod won't!
Love & peace & don't upset the rhythm no?????

I found this on the web but haven't tried it:
'' iTunes and iPod add slight breaks of silence between tracks by default. To get rid of the break between tracks try this:
You can tell iTunes, only on import, that certain tracks are supposed to run into each other. It then will import them to play as one continuous, gapless track. It is easy to do but hidden....

Highlight the tracks which you wish to play 'as one'.
Now go to Advanced > Join CD Tracks. You'll see they now have just one blue "play" checkmark for the lot and be linked together on your screen with a little vertical line.
For classical music it's easy to identify which pieces belong to each other because they are called out as movements.
Popular music usually requires you to audition the transitions between tracks and join them accordingly. Pink Floyd's Division Bell runs together tracks 1 - 5, 7 - 9 and 10 - 11. Tracks 6 and 9 are independent.
Once imported these tracks now appear as 5 tracks instead of 11. Each song is now named as a concatenation of the songs inside. Instead of three songs with name of Song One, Song Two and Song Three, you'll have one song names "Song One - Song Two - Song Three." This is fine for the classics, but darned if I know how to cue to any particular movement or song inside one of these. The Track Number field in iTunes shows the correct track number that correlates to the first of each series. You'll see the other track numbers not listed.''
