Hi,

Windows Media Player will allow you to rip Cd's without gaps by selecting the RIP menu in Windows Media Player then FORMAT and select “Windows Media Audio Lossless".

Follow the steps under To change Rip settings in the rip settings menu from the link mentioned below:

Lossless is a format that is gapless. The effect is that the file sizes when you rip files would be rather large and seem to suggest just one long audio file.

You may also refer the Microsoft help article for more details from the link mentioned below:
