There should be no gap between tracks running into each other. This is a basic thing for the listeners experience.

Just installed a new Yamaha receiver with support for Deezer. Sound is great. Musiccast and deezer works good. Deezer itself puts gaps between songs, this is not good!

So far I found out that Deezer is NOT changing this soon. Is that correct? If so I cancel Deezer and look for straming service without stupid gaps like Spotify (they fixed this around 2012 I understood).

Why on earth gaps between songs???? Whats wrong with Deezer? It's 2018... Grow up!

I'm afraid for you since this is a feature that should be put in your priority list...and that many customers or potental customers find to be essential

make the app not to cut the sound between tracks .
specially if the album was recorded with nos silence between traks in deezer is imposible to listen to it like it was originally recorded.
hope you can fix that!

I’ve just installed Deezer for 30 days trial period on HiFi subscription and surprisingly does not have gapless playback with Google Chromecast Audio.

A very well-known thread not exclusivity of Deezer but also on Tidal’s and Spotify’s.

To Deezer guys, how far are you on resolving this annoying issue? Is there any expert there that is willing to explain with all the technicalities why is that difficult to resolve this? I’ll pay a year premium subscription to the platform that first solves gapless playback!!

Crossfading alternative is not an option…. To my taste, is even worse than the one second duration of the drop between songs.
Thanks!

Been a customer for years now since I switched from Spotify as they had no favorite artists and albums. But this is seriously starting me to want to switch back. Get a grip Deezer, how hard can this be?

Agree.
This is the one thing that would make me move to Spotify. The listening exerience in some genres is inferior when there are gaps between tracks. This MUST be fixed.

No. They say crossfade is their approach...

That's a suboptimal "solution" that definitely does not work properly in many cases. In the Mac client I tried just now I either have to set a long crossfade which destroys the rhythm and timing or a short crossfade that sounds like a quick fadeout/fade in. I'm pretty sure they could improve the way the crossfade works making it less audible but best thing would be true gapless.

Is the hifi option for Deezer also suffering from this?
