Separate Tracks Mp3: Each song is provided as its own individual MP3 file, just like tracks on a CD. You can easily skip to any song, and all tracks play seamlessly without gaps between them. iPhone/iPad users: for gapless playback, sync the tracks to your device through iTunes/Finder and play via the Apple Music app — iOS cannot play them gaplessly straight from a download. Want zero setup? Choose Non-Tracked instead.

Non-Tracked Mp3: The entire playlist comes as one continuous MP3 file with all songs merged together. Unlike separate tracks, you can’t skip between individual songs – it’s just one seamless mix from start to finish. Plays perfectly on any device with no setup required.
