Except the product can't play classical music, prog rock, opera, etc as it introduces an unwanted pause in between tracks of continuous music. Don't buy it if you listen to the above or any CD which has continuous music divided into separate tracks.

As you can see at the bottom of the second page arcam has released a software update that adds gapless playback of CDs.

And I assume from here on out any new stock of the CD player will feature the software update so no one will have to worry about it.

I noticed this morning when I looked on their site that this update was available, I was looking forward to it because I have purchased the A5 integrated amp and wanted to get the matching CD player, but the lack of gapless put me off.

Anyway I'm glad to see that they follow through with their promise of the update.

Good to see, although the features are still rather limited, including the apparent lack of a search (<< / >>) facility.
