Bought  another MP3 album on Amazon. I deeply regret it. The sad thing
  is, I could have seen this coming but I was too greedy.

  See, what I bought is "Shpongle -  Nothing  Lasts...  But  Nothing  Is
  Lost"[1].  It's 20 tracks on the CD but it's actually one single song.
  Wikipedia says it's "8 songs divided into 20  parts"  but  there's  no
  moment of silence -- those 8 songs blend smoothly into each other.

  Amazon's MP3s are of poor quality. Yes, sure, it's 256 kb/s and stuff.
  That's not the problem. The problem is that you can clearly hear  when
  one  track  ends  and  when  the  next  track starts because the CD --
  obviously -- was ripped in "track at once" mode on a poor CD drive. It
  goes like this:

             ... melody ; click/blip/small pause ; melody ...

  Grrrrrrrrrr.
