I have always used wav files to record my mixes so I can give to people. I am working on a new mix which will be more than the 80 min max of wav file on a cd. Is there any other format I can use so it plays gapless on most players and still have the songs seperated if one wants to skip or rewind? I was thinking flac?

No second gaps in tracks, Flac will be a push who was a flac player? I thought it boiled down to HW, well it used to.

Apple's lossless encoding (ALAC) is comparative to FLAC. They are also supported by a number of hardware devices as is FLAC.

Is your goal for this to work on a stand alone CD/DVD player or within software? Being that you originally used a WAV file, I'm not sure if you converted it to standard CD formatting. If your goal is just using the CD as an inexpensive medium and your running out of space, not concerned about hardware support, why not just burn to DVD?
