'Continuous Play' mode...

I don't think that what you want will likely be incorporated soon... The only way I think you can be accomodated is by adjusting the present cruise mode to add function like 'cut' to the fade in and fade out markers. I'm hoping that you don't have many albums like the KLF one (excellent album BTW), and reckon you should download a freeware app to join your tracks together. That way you can have both individual tracks and one long mix. Yes there are albums where you have one or more tracks that represent one song that you want to play. (Thinking Way Out West - Intensify for example - in 2 parts on the CD)

So hopefully that will put the problem on the 'minor annoyance' level rather on the 'show stopper' level.
