I think it already does so. Albums with tracks that are seamless play as one continuous score. I don’t think there is crossfade edits (overlap), though. Any silent start or end will be part of those tracks.

Some seamless samples from the top of my head:

Misplaced childhood (1985) - Marillion on Apple Music - Apple (tracks 1–3 are seamless)

The war of the worlds (1978) - Jeff Wayne on Apple Music - Apple (most tracks are seamless)

The dark side of the moon (1973) - Pink Floyd on Apple Music - Apple (most tracks are seamless)

Abbey Road (1969) - The Beatles on Apple Music - Apple (tracks 14–16 are seamless)
