"LAME's --nogap switch is only useful for multiple MP3 encodes on the same
commandline. Instead of leaving the trailing silence, whatever unfilled
time that remains on the end of the MP3 is used to encode the beginning of
the next track. Because of this, --nogap is only useful for listening to
such songs strictly in order... or you'll find that some of the MP3s are
missing a small clip of the beginning & contain a small bit of the next
track at the end."
