How to get gapless audio playback on an album

I have just found an old mix CD which i split into individual tracks after recording it. Problem is that when i play it back through iTunes/VLC there is an audible gap/stutter between each track. I have checked the preferences within iTunes and “crossfade songs” is unchecked, so not quite sure what my other options are.



If there is no media player that can achieve what i’m looking for, what’s the best free software to edit the mix? I tried sticking it into Ableton but it messed around with the pitch and made some of the tracks a little grainy sounding. The problem with importing to ableton is that the mix progressively increases in tempo…is there any way of disabling the tempo setting in ableton so that each individual track remians at the original tempo?
