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

Hi there @kowalski5233

Thank you for your honest feedback. Your decision leaves us sad too, but we understand the reasons and that we could do better. We're doing what we can with the people we have to improve our app experience as a whole. Gapless has been worked on by a lot of people on our side, for example. So it'll be a reality soon.
I'll be happy to pass your feedback on to the relevant teams here at Deezer, and I hope we can sway you back in the future 👍🏼

Already voted for this feature.

So far is the only reason I'm going back to Tidal (or maybe Spotify). Both apps has gapless playback. And it's a very old feature. Tidal also has Hi-Fi files so I don't really imagine why is so hard to implement this basic feature in Deezer.

Mixed (electronic DJ sets) albums and live albums are ruined without this feature.

I let my subscription drop too, the lack of gapless really is a deal-breaker for me. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case gapless really does get shipped soon. To be positive about it all, I quite liked Deezer on Android. The app is quite stable, and there is a fairly good range of music (omitting random albums is frankly annoying from a subscriber viewpoint, but the coverage isn't too bad overall). Get gapless working and it could be a winner for me.

Last week I purchased a network CD player Yamana CD-NT670, and I wanted to test most of its functions that I may find useful for my music experience/pleasure. So today I decided to try lossless streaming with Deezer. I started with an album that I've listened many dozen times in last years - https://www.deezer.com/ru/album/4299241 - to see/hear if that service is that good. And then right after the first track I heard what shouldn't be there - a pause. That's when I went to this forum to vote for gapless playback feature which is definitely a must have for a hi-fi service.

BTW, listening to this album further I found that the gaps between tracks are not that small as some people say. For me they are about 1.5-2 seconds, just like on some stupidly stamped CDs with a default 2 seconds pause between tracks when they should have been recorded in Disc-at-once mode.

Hi there @Alex314Ru and everyone at the community,

Thank you for your support and for your patience. We've spoken to our product managers about this major and essential feature. As mentioned above, we've been working on this for quite some time and the good news is that it'll be a reality soon. We should expect more updates by the end of this year, when other exciting features are being developed for too. Personally, I can't wait to listen to the Dark Side of The Moon on Deezer once Gapless is here 😉

please release crossfade to all the devices like nvidia shield app. Gapless playback should be working. On tidal and spotify it does. I find a option in deezer labs for crossfade.
