Actually MP3 can be gapless - it just requires that each frame is filled
completely. Lame can rip like this when ripping a CD, and I presume some
other rippers can as well. All it does is effectively move a little bit of
the next frame into the end of the current track to fill the frame up.
Since a frame is tiny, the difference is not noticeable.
