Gapless playback means no gap inserted other than that already in the album. So, for a live album, or a studio album where songs blend together (Pink Floyd The Wall or Dark Side of the Moon come to mind), the music plays with no audible pause or gap.
This is much more useful than you might imagine, and it has never been supported by any generation iPod. Anyone who listens to albums in their entirety will notice how much non-gapless playback interferes with the flow from song to song...so yes, it does add considerably to the aesthetic appreciation of music.
