More Zen Micro Questions

I have a few more questions about the Creative Zen Micro MP3 player (for anyone who happens to know):

1. I've read a little where the Zen Micro does not have "gapless playback". I have a number of albums that I enjoy (many Pink Floyd albums for example) where a small gap between tracks would degrade the enjoyability of the music. Is there indeed a gap between tracks?

2. Does an AC adapter come with the Zen Micro? The ones being sold at Amazon.com appear to no longer come with one.

3. How does track ordering work? For example, if I want to listen to an album in order, how do I do it?

4. How long does it take to transfer songs using USB 2.0?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I put down $200 for something that I might end up hating.
 
This does not answer your questions but I just bought one at buy.com - $186 - $10 coupon = $176. Nice deal. Bought a pair of Etymotic ER6-I's for $81 to go along. Very excited.
 
I've got a zen micro, but I'm not sure if there is a gap between tracks, I've never noticed it but haven't really been listening for it. My micro came with an AC adapter although I got mine in New Zealand about 4 months ago. It charges through the usb port though as well. Listening to an album in order is easy, just select the right play mode (normal will play through the album and stop, repeat will play the album over and over) then go into the album through the music library and select the first song and you're away. The average time to transfer a song at a guess is probably around 3-4 seconds.

1. There probably is a slight gap. I never really notice but I've heard there is a second delay.

2. Yes it comes with an AC Adapter. I got mine about 2 weeks ago. It comes with a case, a clip, headphones, USB Cable, and AC cable.

3. I think you order them by their properties in windows. If you right click on a track and choose "Summary" you will see "Track Number".

4. I don't know really, never timed it. It can transfer an album pretty quick.
