Don't have that one.  (Not a Beatles fan...)

My number one tes case is Misplaced Childhood by Marillion.  All but one
track transitions on the album flow, and any gap in playback would be
utterly jarring.

Then there is just about any Pink Floyd album (e.g. Wish You Were Here,
or Dark Side of the Moon, or The Division Bell).

I also have a good number of trance mixes (e.g. the "Euphoria" series).

By the way, with newer versions of Winamp (e.g. 5.x) I've found that
a gapless output plugin is also needed, as Winamp otherwise will close
and re-open the audio device.  I use the following myself:

Gapless audio output v0.7.2
