there's an interesting tool that game audio folks use that does some clever prestidigitation when encoding an MP3 and generates a gapless version. it runs on a PC, but can run under Wine pretty easily. requires old fashioned WAV files for input. here's the link. the page also has a lot of detailed information on why MP3s have this issue and how the tools solves this problem:
Well, if you require WAV for input you might as well convert to OGG which AFAICT doesn't suffer from this problem.
only MP3 has this problem, WAV does not either, as far as I know. Basically, avoid MP3 and you will have gapless playback everywhere.
