Is MusiCutter the best way to achieve gapless playback when listining to MP3's ripped from line-in ?

Please read the FAQ entries on this subject:

"This method isn't perfect, because MP3 frames are not fully independent of one another. If a file is split at a frame boundary, some of the data from the previous file is not carried over when the next file starts playing. This creates a tiny "blip" at the transition point between two songs. It's much less annoying than an actual gap of silence, though."

Also, when you say "listening to MP3's", do you mean on the car player or on your PC? If it's on your PC, your player software has to play the files without gaps. Most players will pause between songs as they cache the next tune. For instance, if using WinAmp, you need a gapless output plugin, linked from the FAQ because it goes with my GapKiller utility.
