Gapless playback between tracks

As Musicislife says, there's no gap with crossfade and you can also hear the song that was playing before and the next one through Radio Anchor. You'll find it in Settings, Deezer Labs.

Thanks Walker and MusicLife.
No such thing as crossfading in Deezer desktop app for Mac ver. 0.2.46.250.
HTML5 web app does not have it either.
I have to wait then until this is "fixed" for the different players.

There are albums like Tubular Bells II, or The Wall that use no space between the tracks. When I listem to them on Deezer it is irritating to have these breaks between the songs. Can you please add an option "Play the whole album with no pauses"? That would be great and I guess it shouldn't be difficult for your IT engineers. Please support my idea 🙂

You probably talking about Gapeless feature . As much as I know Deezer not going to implement it soon (Someone from customer support told me) , but they do have Crossfade option so while a song fade out the next one will start . To use this feature on the mobile app you need join in the beta program . You can find more info on how to do it below :

If you want to use this feature on the browser this is how to do it :

Anja,

Lack of "gapless" playback should be high priority for Deezer. I honestly have trouble understanding why it hasn't been in place for a long time. It should honestly be trivial to implement.

As others have mentioned, there are many albums where tracks are connected without silence. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is a great example, and I respectfully request that you to listen to just 5 minutes of this album. You will hear a break in the music twice in 5 minutes, as if someone paused the album momentarily. I think if you hear the problem, you will understand our concern. (This is not exactly an obscure album: it spent 15 YEARS on the Billboard Top-200 album sales list!)

There are many other albums with this same effect, both rock and classical. Listening with gaps or even crossfades absolutely ruins the flow of the album.

Please help us get this fixed!

Thank you,

-Alex

Well this is a good way for Deezer to lose me and many other customers to Spotify. I will not pay for a subscription to a music service which inserts gaps in the middle of my music, interrupting the song. I can't imagine why Deezer thinks this is at all acceptable. There is a LOT of music which plays continuously from one "track" to the next.

Gapless playback should be almost trivial to implement, I really don't understand why this is a problem for Deezer. If this can't be implemented by a single software developer in under a month, they need to fire and replace their entire development staff.

How is gapless not an option? It should be the standard!

Can you imagine if we had little gaps inserted throughout movies on Netflix? Nobody would subscribe!!

Been trying Deezer as the attraction was Hifi but unfortunately let down on no offline on PC & MAC for Hifi and no gapless playback at all (crossfade is not a solution !!)
Spotify has had it for years, I'll sit and wait for Spotify to introduce Hifi
Deezer wont be getting my cash, shame they could got well ahead in the game if they did have these features :-(

Try an listening to Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road by The Beatles as an example terrible

@Hifiphil I moved your topic to this ongoing discussion 😉
