Gapless playback between tracks

Hey @EEAlexHay

Not sure yet, but hopefully soon because we've been working on getting the community closer to them.

New to Deezer,. I use the app mostly while exercising, with high intensity songs to go along with my workout pace. the most annoying part I noticed is that the tracks are kept as is without any altering, meaning that many of the original songs have 5-10 seconds of quiet time before starting, I have to stop my training to check if the app has crashed or just skip the track WHICH IS EXTREEMELY ANNOYING and did not face this in competing apps before. is there a fix for this?

Hi there @George Hoyek

Thank you for your feedback. Please vote for the idea here and in the meantime, also check our Beta program so that you can test crossfade - if your mobile is compatible.

Unfathomable it is 2019 and this is still a thing. I'm a HiFi subscriber but I'm out if gapless isn't possible. Why would you go through the effort of streaming lossless only to butcher the music like this?

Suggesting Crossfade is a suitable substitute is disingenuous and frankly insulting to music lovers.

Someone please give a real update of when this can be expected or I'm seriously leaving and heading back to Spotify.

It would be nice to know 'why' gapless playback isn't supported in Deezer (despite it being available in several other streaming apps).

Perhaps if more details and communication were given explaining the difficulty in implementing this feature (rather than just "hey, try crossfading" and 'silence') then maybe people would be a bit more understanding. Or atleast give us a time frame as to when it can be expected to be complete

Regardless, just look at the votes: Gapless playback and Night Mode are two of the most requested features - they were both requested back in November 2017. 1.5 years later and neither have been fulfilled.

This is a signal from the Deezer community, so please dedicate your resources to these important features and prioritize them (like... we didn't really need a new logo).

It would be really nice to get Gapless Playback.
Was checking out to switch from Google Music to Deezer, due to their split up in catalogue because of YouTube Music (which seems to have stalled).

But as I listen a lot to mixes, missing gapless playback is quite a showstopper.
Google Music has perfect gapless playback (and I think its also based on MP3), so it should be possible!

Nowhere. Nowhere is there a simple function that will allow you to be the best.
Each user creates their own playlist in your application. add, finally, it is possible that the tracks with each other could overlay the end of the track and the beginning of the next one. like it's a dj set. it's so easy. And then you listen to the track and at the end a couple more seconds of silence until the next one starts. and so your application will be a hit at parties. because it will create an atmosphere of a club where a DJ brings tracks one to one. if I'm not mistaken, this function is called crossfade.

Hi there @Vikoris

Thank you for your input. I've moved your comment here so that you can support the original idea. We're constantly looking into this topic. Please contribute with a vote 😉

The gaps between tracks are absolutely annoying if you hear albums like http://www.deezer.com/album/88292622
(which is a great electronic experience). Especially electronic music like this is mixed with a emotional peak at the end of the tracks. So the gap is totally destroying the vibe. A crossfade wouldn't help in this case.

Please, leave the user interface as it is and work on the wishes of your paying customers, Deezer.

Thank you.

This is a big vote from me as well.
It's just sad to have gaps between continuing songs from one album.
