So is this iPod thing something I should get, too? Is it expensive to download music on it?
nope- you CAN import the whole album as one file with no gaps inbetween, the only prob is that no track names will come up because it thinks its all one track.Scoobie said:

tis funking annoying having that nano second of a pause...
hope Apple can sort it out, cant see why not. if you can play an Audio CD with no pauses, surely you can make the software "preload" the next one in readiness... saying that CD Data is stored in a continous spiral, whereas on a HDD, its whereever there is free space...
i need to get out more...

I know it's an mp3 player, so you download mp3's on the ipod, no?
TBH it doesn't really bother me that much having it all as one file because I usually listen to the whole of a mix cd anyway. But I can understand that it would be annoying if you wanted to skip to a particualr track and you have to fast forward through half an hour or whatever 
Adding songs from CDs to your library
You can import songs from your CDs into your iTunes library. Imported songs are encoded and stored on your hard disk so that you can listen to them without having the original CD.
If you have QuickTime 6.2 or later installed, the default encoding format is MPEG-4 AAC, a file format that stores a lot of audio information in a small amount of space. You can listen to AAC files in iTunes, on your iPod or iPod mini (requires iPod software 1.3 or later), and on your iPod shuffle. If you have an earlier version of QuickTime, the default format is MP3 (or whatever you last chose in Importing preferences). For information about changing the importing format, click "Tell me more."
For the best performance and results, use the computer's internal CD or DVD drive to import songs.
1.
Insert an audio CD into your computer. After a moment, the songs on the CD are listed in the iTunes window.
2.
Click to remove the checkmark next to any songs you don't want to import.
3.
To remove the gap of silence that normally occurs between songs, make sure the songs on the CD are sorted by track number in ascending order (click the top of the first column so that it's blue and you see a triangle that points up), then select two or more adjacent songs and choose Advanced > Join CD Tracks.
iTunes imports any joined songs as one track. To change back to importing the songs separately, select the joined songs and choose Advanced > Unjoin CD Tracks.
4.
To add the selected songs to your library, click the Import button in the upper-right corner of the iTunes window..
The display area at the top of the iTunes window shows how much time it will take to import each song. To cancel importing, click the small X next to the progress bar.
5.
When the songs are finished importing, click the Eject symbol to the right of the CD in the playlist, or click the Eject Disk button in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
