ITunes 11 - Gapless Albums not working

I have some "gapless" albums in my Library. This should mean that when playing the album back, no pause or gap should be heard between each track on these albums. Apparently iTunes 11 identifies gapless albums, and dissables "Crossfade Songs" for these albums automatically (if it is enabled). iTunes should then string all the tracks on the album together to create on long performance, with no gaps (unless the recording itself has some quiet moments).
In iTunes 11, I have found for my gapless albums, there is a gap (no sound) after one track finishes and the next one starts. Also, I have found the option to turn on or off gapless album no longer exists - apparently it never did turn gapless on or off anyway, see this URI
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/music-audio-podcasting/290496-itunes-11-gapless -album-artwork.html
I switched off "Crossfade Songs" under "Playback Preferences" in iTunes Preferences, and then restarted iTunes. This made no difference, so I switched it back on again and restarted iTunes. Still, no difference - there are gaps.
Perhaps Apple should consider an option to "Enable" / "Dissable" / "Default" (Apple chooses the appropriate setting) gapless behaviour for each album, and let the listener decide and override if desired.

I just got off the phone with Apple support....
They have eliminated gapless playback of albums, so now EVERY song on a mixed DJ set or Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (or millions of other albums) - each track will have a 1 second gap between them.  COmpletely ruining the way the album was meant to be listened to.
They reverse-engineered and went back to crappy playback like Android and Windows OS phones USED to do.  Doesn't make much sense does it? 
I repaeat - do NOT upgrade to iTunes 11, you will be severely disappointed.
For those that have already upgraded and lost gapless playback, submit a Feedback request and demand for gapless playback to be brought back into iTunes ASAP!!!  FIll out the form here:

I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

    Hello 19Brenda94
    Start with removing iTunes in the order of the first article states, which is iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later). Once that is done, then download iTunes 64 bit version from the second link below and run that installer.

    Hello, flippytippi.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need a little more information regarding what exactly you are experiencing when attempting to sync photos to better assist you.  However, here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through.

    How to solve the problem of connecting my iPad to Itunes while my iPad not working and show to connect to iTunes?
    Thank you for help out.

    Hi Jamalzoal,
    Dose your computer have the most recent iTunes on it? When you connect the iPad 2 to your computer what happens? dose iTunes tell you the iPad need to be restored?
    p.s. you post this question in the Apple Remote Desktop community. You would probable have gotten more an fast responses if you posted this in the iPad community.

    Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
    I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

    Followed troubleshooting for "iPhone not found in devices" iTunes and that did not work...  Now what?

    That's what I tried. The 6 steps and I do not have security software on my phone. iTunes on my Mac is still giving me the warning that I need to download the latest version on my phone, and is not recognizing it in devices, which is the irony because that's what I need to actually update it

  • Itunes Wi-Fi Sync not working on Ios6

    Itunes Wi-Fi Sync not working on Ios6. It was working with Ios 5.

    OK OK OK
    I tried all of the above ideas
    none worked for me!
    I had already re booted, but I rebooted again, the phone, router, comp (iMac)
    I changed the name of my phone, I had a lot of hope riding on that idea, it sounded good, but (sigh) no go!
    finally I got it working
    this is what I did, I hope it works for you (at least on a Mac)
    open
    system preferences - Sharing
    I clicked on internet sharing, but did not 'tick' the box (mine was off & is still is off now)
    I 'ticked' the Wi-Fi tick box
    and got out of preferences (i did not 'tick' the internet sharing box, dunno if that is importiant, just what i did)
    my iphone 5 popped up in iTunes over Wi-Fi in like 5 seconds and has stayed there since i did a wifi sync
    happy days
