I've been using it for several years for classical music where you normally want to play all the movements of a piece each of which is usually a separate track. Linked tracks allows me to randomize classical pieces and have the whole piece play rather than just a track. I've found it a particularly elegant approach to multi-track pieces; it's one of the main reasons I use MM.
Say two tracks are linked...track 7 and track 8 off album X.
In my random auto playlist, if track 7 comes up before track 8 it works perfectly.
Track 7 plays then track 8 plays regardless of where track 8 was in the playlist.
Just what I want.
However, if track 8 comes up first, it plays track 8 for about two or three seconds, then stops and moves onto the next track.
When track 7 eventually comes around, that track plays then track 8 plays as stated above.
That is what I meant by not "clean".
But I can live with it.
