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

I just got a Sonos home system and am trying Deezer over Apple music to see if it sounds better.
First thing I listened to was Max Richters 4 seasons and was immediately hit with gaps between songs. WTF.
If Deezer is trying to aim for the audiophile market this is completely unacceptable.
Was considering trying out hi-fi (why no free trial) but what’s the point.

Hi there @scout 

Thanks for your feedback. We're aware this is an essential feature to have. It isn't done yet, but it's on the cards for this year. Thank you for your patience and support :thumbsup_tone2:

In my case, I use Radio Anchor to minimize gapless between songs. Is not a solution at all, but it’s ok

Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!

That's an Android-only feature, available via Deezer Labs (in Settings) @Samppa. It adds a voice at the beginning of the track to introduce the title and artist, like a radio anchor :thumbsup_tone2:

Hello. 

I am with Spotify since the early days. 
Because I am looking for HiFi quality I tried Tidal and am now trying Deezer. 

Oh no. Gapless playback is such a basic feature in my opinion. Spotify and Tidal are all good with that. Except via Chromecast. But that’s another story. 
 

i am listening to artists like CFCF and their albums are all meant to be listened through like a story. 

The tiny gap between songs is annoying. I may rather stay with Spotify if that’s not a priority for you amazing people at Deezer?

Hi there @MusicIsLife 

Thank you for your feedback. It's interesting for us to hear a point of view - of someone who tried other services. We'd like gapless to be a reality soon, but we also want to finish our new Chromecast integration and fix some bugs. Gapless is on the list :thumbsup_tone2:

@Rudi thank you for confirming that gapless is on the roadmap. For me, the lack of this feature breaks the app, I will not use Deezer until this is implemented.

 

Could you give an estimate as to when we might see this feature?

Hello @jpcastberg, we cannot give you an estimate yet, but we will get back to you as soon as we have one, promised!

Have a nice week :slight_smile:
