When a track doesn't actually end in silence and continues on in the next
you don't hear a pause there when listening to a CD. If you rip it to MP3,
you will hear a pause between the songs, because of the padding in the
mp3 frame and whatnot. 
I'm not sure about the FLAC format, but I guess it's the same as with
mp3. This is the only reason to save it in one file I guess.
