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

Hi @PacoP

I believe you can have gapless on Android Beta and iOS. I'm hoping for gapless on desktop soon! 🙂

You don't. You have crossfade, which is NOT gapless. Crossfade breaks transitions and it's even worst than not using it at all on the numerous albums that were designed with gapless in mind, since it cuts out the beginning and end of tracks.

That's right @NycoHiFi but we're working towards bringing gapless to our apps. Please bear with us a bit longer. Thank you for your understanding :pray_tone2:

Apple Music is gapless (at least on Mac OS and iOS). It’s why I’ve left Deezer for the moment.

Hi, I like Deezer because of the quality of sound it offers. I have a Premium subscription for some time now, but I'm beginning to miss some of my favourit music. Take Steve Reich's Music for 18 musicians for example. In this modern classic, minimal music, no gaps, no pause is of the essence. With gaps this is no longer music, with gaps the piece is raped. Or take Richard Wagner's Tristan & Isolde. At some very important moments in this opera of opera's the music and singing cross the numbers. This too is of the essence. With gaps it's just horrible. Deezer, which so much pays attention to the quality of sound, is raping Wagner music. Does Deezer think it knows better how the music of Reich or Wagner should sound than Reich or Wagner themselves?? It's just outrageous and ridiculous. I seriously hope things will improve soon. Playing my old cd's on my old equipment in the attic is not what I want, while having expensive state of the art streaming equipment in the living room …

So, Deezer, please act ...

Yeah the gaps between tracks really ruin the listening experience for many albums I wish they would fix it.

Thanks Rudi! Would you have any idea as to when the fix could be implemented? (Before mid-2020?)

As in any other tech company, there's difficulty in narrowing a date down @NycoHiFi. Because even if it's planned, it can be pushed back and delayed due to bug fixes and other features you, users, request with more urgency.

Gapless was scheduled for the first part of the year - so our teams started working on it, but it might be pushed back/paused because a considerable amount of users are unhappy with the favourites limit for quite some time, for instance.

Either way, these are things we'll deliver at some point because we know it's important for all of you. And we'll keep you updated here :thumbsup_tone2:

Can't wait to listen to Dark Side of the Moon… :relaxed:

Hi so has there been any updates to gapless playback in the android app? Or even with rolling out crossfade to regular android users?

Hi

I'm really liking this app , but there is one thing missing if you will add

   Create an option where you can choose a continuous nonstop playback between current and next track in a Playlist,  it will be very effective listening to nonstop (no pause) between two tracks during workouts and cardio

Thanks
