You don't have to cut your vorbis files (or wav), just
encode each song and when you play them there should
be no gap between them - because vorbis doesn't add
silence to the begging/end of the encoded file (like mp3
does). Some problems might still occur (like small clicks)
because the encoder (even though it doesn't add anything)
doesn't know that it should match the end of one file with
the begging of the other. Beta2 had a bug - the last frame
was polluted so some clicks did occur (but not often) -
this was later fixed, so check out beta3 (coming out anyday
now) - I think that this matter should be solved now.

Greetings,
Aleksandar
