Ripping

How in the world can I avoid this, well, ripping, that is, the breaking of the music, when it should not be ripped, when it should not be broken apart? (I’m talking about making compilations).
Let me explain. With two songs, with a clear pause between them, there’s no problem. But, what happens when you have a continuous, uninterupted flow of music, such as, in an opera, or in many other types of great music?
How can this RIPPING of music be avoided?
