New Not that simple...
At least not with MP3s. Because of the encode/decode and the frame-length requirements, MP3s are hard to degap without extra information from the encoder (iTunes and LAME both add this information, in different proprietary ways).

xmms-crossfade cheats by buffering up the next song and figuring out the gap by first principles, apparently.

New I think you've found the underlying problem.
That is, MP3 doesn't de-gap easily without help from the encoder. :-)

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
