Headunit with SD Card - Gapless Playback?

[[SKR]Phoenix]

Hi Folks!

So, the Sony headunit in my ST needs replacing due to the fact that it won't play CD's properly. Starts ok, then starts to skip the hotter the unit gets. Seems a very common problem!

So, I am planning on replacing the unit with perhaps a Pioneer 3200-BT. So, the headunit has a SD card slot and is iPod compatible. However, what really bugs me about most MP3 players is that they don't do gapless playback. I know that the latest iPods do, but I don't want an iPod in the car when I can just whack a SD card in the front of the unit.

So, does anyone know if this particular (or recommend another) headunit does gapless playback from SD card? I don't mind changing the audio format if needed, providing it can be done.

Thanks in advance for any idead you may have.

Ta.

I don't have said Pioneer but I've had a couple with USB ports on the front (current one has one) and it's as close to gapless as you're gonna get with mp3's. I.e. a split second gap between tracks.

I'd assume the SD card versions would be the same. If no one on here knows then www.talkaudio.co.uk forums - someone may know on there
