This is one of the misteries I never investigated enough to understand:

If you use something that is gapless-aware to do the transcode (like
foobar2000) then maybe. Give it a shot with one album and see what
happens. You'll get a quality drop though, as you're doing a
lossy-lossy transcode. Personally, I'd just rerip into something
lossless.
