This is getting ridiculous. Not only does gapless not work at all on desktop STILL (it's 2026 y'all), but the one on the android app is cutting the gaps too much and making songs jump to each other unnaturally. Reading the forums, it sounds like this has been a problem people have been having for a while and it still isn't fixed. The ability to make audio gapless is as old as digital recordings themselves, so it baffles me that Deezer still hasn't figured this out yet. My $15 CD player from Amazon even has gapless. Hell, my MP3 player from 2001 can play gapless without issue. Please fix this major, listening experience-ruining issue before I'm forced to once again search for a new streaming service.

When small pauses or gaps appear between songs, it disrupts the listening experience and breaks the intended continuity of the audio. Fixing gapless playback would greatly improve overall audio quality, ensuring smooth transitions between tracks without silence or delays, and delivering a more immersive and professional listening experience for all users.
