Playback of long MP3s as individual tracks

Pristine Classical MP3s are a little different: all of our music files are sold as single, long MP3 files. This can be especially important with classical music, where one of the shortcomings of MP3 files - the small gap at the start and end of every MP3 - can result in highly irrititating breaks in continuous music. The best-known example is the seamless transition from third to fourth movements in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony - a gap here is simply unacceptable!

A special MP3 Player for Windows: Foobar 2000 is a free audio player for Windows PCs which supports a wide range of formats for playback. We like it for one very good reason - it supports our MP3+CUE system! This means you'll get seamless playback of our long MP3s on your PC, with full access to individual movements or pieces, without gaps between tracks.
