How do I import a CD into iTunes without a break between tracks?

I am looking to import cd's that do not have breaks between songs. Most electronica cd's are like this, but a live concert would be the same. When I pop a cd in my computer and import it into iTunes it turns it into individual tracks, with an abrupt break between songs instead of the continuous flow that the cd has. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? App?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

iTunes should be able to manage gapless playback of this kind of album. Mileage may vary, but it may help to clear (if set) and then set the Part of Gapless Album flag from the Options tab of Get Info. when the whole album is selected.

If you really want to rip the CD as a single track, select the tracks and then use Advanced > Join CD Tracks before importing the CD.
