Whereas, with most of the albums I listen to, the "cuts" are just time markers and the music is continuous across tracks, and a lack of gapless playback is jarring. Classical/baroque, much of classic and progressive rock, a fair amount of jazz and perhaps the entire genre of ambient/trance work out pretty much that way.

Whereas? That is exactly what I described in the last part of my post. The music bleeds into/continues or change mood at exactly the beginning of the next song. Why "whereas"?
Dewie I think you're confusing "gapless playback" and "crossfade playback". Gapless playback just means playing the songs exactly as you would hear them on a CD. Groove Basin doesn't even support crossfade playback and I'm not sure that it ever will.
