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

I see that requests for gapless playing have been raised in the past, both as suggestions and in the troubleshooting section, and dismissed with "well, we have cross fade" and then marked as "solved". This is unacceptable. Many classical albums, operas, musicals and modern albums (Pink Floyd for example) are continuous music. Inserting several seconds gap every few minutes completely ruins the listening experience. It's like having adverts in the middle of your music!

I see from web search that Spotify introduce gapless play 5 years ago in 2012. If Deezer want customers to pay higher prices for Premium and HiFi, it's got to be the same experience as listening to a CD or top quality vinyl. No breaks. No ads. No gaps.

Please.

Hi @David Jansz I moved your topic to this existing one. Please note that even though this topic was marked with a best answer it doesn't mean that we are not looking into it. The ideas forum is still open :)

I don't have a concrete update from the developers yet which is why I couldn't publish anything. But I will of course let you know should there be an update 🙂

Hello, is there a way to hear in one continues mix, like when hearing trance music artist as armin van buuren. At the moment there a gap between songs and is very annoying hearing in this way.

No i mean as one track only. There is trance music thate the album is dj full set. And between tracks the app make gap of few seconds. As result when mix of two tracks that should hear as one has a gap. For example the album of armin van buuren - a state of trance 845.

That's the exact thing I've been looking for! Not only with trance music, but with any music it's kind of annoying that there's a second for the music to stop..

Gapless is a must!
(And not to be mixed up with cross fading which would not solve it)

When listening to a mixed CD, this quarter of a second gap is really annoying.
See for ex. the following "Live at Robert Johnson" http://www.deezer.com/album/13637588

Thanks for mentioning this idea and hope developers will improve it.

this is a answer i recived from the support.

"I'm afraid the song merging is only a feature of some players, and there is no option to modify the pause between two songs in Deezer".
