That's the idea - two MP3 files that can be played back sequentially
without any audible gap.  If you encoded them separately, you'd get
a "hiccup" between the two, due to introduced latency for the bit
reservoir.  Some players introduce their own gaps, but on ones that
handle this correctly, you won't hear the transition from one file to
the next - you would without --nogap.
hmm, I didn't get that... thanks for the clarification!

If you want a single MP3 file as output, you should concatenate your
raw unencoded files (e.g. with sox or xwave), and encode the result.
This seems like a natural follow-on to the --nogap option... are there any plans to add gapless extraction to LAME (so I don't have to use another tool)?

TIA, Jim
