Question is: Do they comply with already existant quasi standards (LAME header, Nero AAC/MP4 gapless solution) or do they use a proprietary solution?

And will gapless playback be possible for older iPod models via firmware updates?
My heart hopes so, but my mind tells me that Apple would rather have me buy a new iPod. QUOTE (goodnews @ Sep 12 2006, 13:23)  Nanos are 52% smaller in size in aluminum colors of: Green, silver, black, blue and pink. Shuffle is much smaller also. 52%?!? Before we know it you'll be able to hide a nano up your..... sleeve.
