I have probably overlooked something, but what about this way of getting gapless mp3s (let's skip playing them correctly for now):

Take a ripper that rips the whole CD in one big wav (for example CDparanoia) and convert it into one large mp3. Then use CD TOC info to chop the mp3 into bite sized pieces (I don't know how this last step is easy or not). Comments?

(Actually, I recall now seeing a CD-ROM with all Beatles music with lyrics, sleeve graphics etc. Each album was a single mp3 (one could play it on WinAmp despite .wav extension), with some kind of index that UI software used to jump to beginning of songs within the album.)
