"really without gaps" is not always true, because of the inter-frame
dependencies (bit-reservoir). The only way to do it trully gapless is to
join these mp3s before decoding, but no present player can do it run-time. I
can hear small pops in winamp even if using continous output, because each
mp3 is decoded separately.

musiCutter 0.5 will have this join function (will be released in a few
weeks).

Yes, this way works reliable.
