That makes a lot of sense.  Many portable players have limited fast forward 
and skipping capabilities so it makes it easier to skip to a file part way 
through to resume listening.  My satellite receiver writes to an external 
USB drive which has to be formatted in FAT32.  To avoid going over the 
4GByte file limit it splits a recording into 500MByte files.  There is no 
clunk when it plays back its own recordings.
