For my experiments I just ripped the tracks from the original and copy
to my HD, then wrote a program that just ran through both files doing
a byte by byte comparison. They came out the same. IIRC I also used a
'diff' tool that does much the same that came with my C/C++ compiler.

Which, of course, proves the tracks are the same, but not the disc -
what about the spacing between the tracks? (is it seamless?)

Can't answer that definatively. Can only say that in instances where the
recordings were 'continuous music' over a track change, no changes were
noticed by the above test, nor did I notice any audible glitches or timing
changes. However I only did these tests with a few CDs on one recorder, so
do not know how typical they may be. I concluded I had no effect worth
worrying about, and stopped there.

With track at once, of course, the situation is quite different.

Slainte,
