Burning cd without getting gap between tracks of continuous music

Some classical cd's (eg operas) are recorded continuously, but on the cd each sequence of music(eg arias etc) is identified by a track #.  When you play the disk there is no break between the tracks.  The sound is continuous.  When I rip the cd and play the ripped music from the library on the computer, the sound is still continuous.  However, when I burn it and play the resulting cd, a brief break occurs between the tracks.  Is there a way I can burn so the burn is continuous and the resulting cd plays the music continuously (ie no breaks)?

What program are you using to burn?

Two suggestions. By the way, this is a common complaint. First, rather than rip and burn, if you do a direct disc-to-disc copy using your regular burning program, this won't happen. Second, let me suggest a program called EAC, which can both rip and record gaplessly. This program is widely recommended by audiophiles.

Your Roxio or Sonic program, whichever was provided by Dell, has the capability of doing a disc copy. This will work regardless of the disc type (audio, data, CD, DVD, etc.) for most discs except copyrighted movie DVDs.

Many thanks for you advice.  I will look at the EAC site.  You also mention "Direct disc to disc copy using regular burn program."  How do you do this, and is additional equipment required?
 
Thanks again:

Thank you.  Thank you.  You have made my day.  I tried Roxio and everything was fine.  Perfect transitions from one track to another.  So thanks again.
