> My guess is not everyone is annoyed by that, or knows about the option.
It depends on the genre, I’d guess. For metal, there’s rarely continuous songs, mainly sometimes intro -> 1st proper song.
maybe not metal but the whole Offspring - Americana has this thing
Right. Though one of this intro -> 1st song transitions from a metal album (Gamma Ray, No World order) immediately pops into my head when thinking of examples where the gap was annoying.
But Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon would be be completely destroyed by the breaks.
