Gapless playback means that there is no pause in playback between the end of one audio file and the beginning of the next audio file. This allows for playback of content with no gaps the way it was meant to be heard. Some examples of gapless albums include:

"Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd
"Abbey Road" by The Beatles
Many live and classical albums
