I wish for this feature, too.  I rip my cd audiobooks to mp3 (both to
preserve my expensive originals and to save space in my vehicle.)  So very
every one of them has had at least two tracks truncated, which I don't find
out until I try to listen to it on the road. :(

I'm rather new at it, but what I don't understand is how can my laptop play
these audio cds directly, but it can't rip them without making error-induced
gaps?  For audio books, an occasional crackle or pop in the sound isn't an
issue.  

I'm using the 'grip (cdparanoia)' setting, would a different ripper
behave better?

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
