No, it is exactly the other way round.
A CD is data along a continuous spiral groove. Just like there is white space between the tracks of an LP, there are samples with zero's on the CD. The TOC tells you where to start a track.
If you rip a CD to a single file, you have the same situation.
Most of us do rip to a single file per track.
Now the player has to load each track separately hence the gap.
Unless a clever programmers decides to code something like "if the next track belongs to the same album, append it to the previous"
BTW: not all audio formats allows for gappless (fixed frame formats)
A lot of dealers are still as clueless as their users when it is about computer based audio
