This is simply a matter of the playing software/hardware. If your current 
playback software leaves gaps between songs which you don't want, either 
search the documentation and the settings on how to remove them (most apps 
seem to have an option for gapless-playback) or if that fails, use a player 
that can do it.

It has nothing to do with the way the mp3/ogg/flac/wav is encoded and it has 
nothing to do with the kind of music (live-recordings face the same problem).

And if the album is only really meaningfull when heard in the correct order, 
why rip it into distinct songs? The usual encoding-formats afaik can contain 
meta-data at any point in their stream (so you see changing descriptions 
through the playback). Unfortunately I don't think there are many (or any) 
apps that allow to define meta-data at a certain point in time.

Have fun,

Arnold
