It probably depends on the burning program and how it is set up. Some
write a afair 2 second gap in between songs (I think that is some kind
of standard?), some don't. Some players ignore that 2 second gap, some
don't. I think the gap was necessary for real old players but isn't
anymore, so I'd try to burn without gaps, especially for a live album.
