Actually, I do own one of these - Lovesexy by Prince.

As I understand it, that album takes things a step further and indexes the entire CD as a single track ("Track 01"). That's different than what we're discussing, although my Gapkiller program will allow you to split that large track into separate ones if you want.

The gapless playback issues we're discussing are in regards to albums with a collection of discrete songs which happen to flow together (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, etc.). In those cases, the rippers automatically encode separate tracks, with each one getting the encoder-induced silent bits at the beginning and the end.
