I know exactly what he's talking about. There is an ever-so-slight pause inbetween track transitions on the Zune, so whereas during the transition of these two tracks there isn't a gap between the two songs, if you listen to it on the Zune you hear a slight gap.
It can be pretty annoying --- try listening to the transition between Nightworks and Arabian Knights off the first Soundbombing album and you'll notice that on the CD there isn't a pause at all between the transition, but on the Zune you'll hear a gap. It completely messes up the flow of the album because damn near the whole album transitions from track-to-track like that without a pause between songs.
