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

Hi there @Benjamin Warrenson @Andrewjackson78 

Thank you for your feedback and for your loyalty. I can't stress how much your support and patience are appreciated.

Gapless is coming :smiley: it's been developed since the end of last year and some tests are being carried out. I'm unable to give you more details right now but I can tell you that it's coming soon and that the community will be informed. I'm personally waiting for this feature, it'll be cool :v_tone2:

 

That’s good new. Please make this your number 1 priority (after safety).

What does “soon” mean though ? few weeks ? Few months ? 6 months ?

I’m a happy hi-fi subscriber but this is clearly the main issue I have with the service right now.

Peace.🔊🎵

Hey @JoeSundermeyer 

I can't even hide my smug face about this one :smirk: thanks for reaching out!

You did well for not even trialling it out. This feature will be coming earlier than you think. Watch this space :sunglasses:

Hi, will the gapless playback be available over Airplay to Sonos? 

I want to move away from Spotify permanently but this is holding me back! 

Cheers

Well... Listening to conceptual albums is like a having a hit on the head every time when one song tries to flow to another) Can't wait to finally hear gapless playback here.

Hi there @Andy D @Uplift @MatthieuM @Thorn @Haris Kountouros @bluezzbastardzz 

Thanks for voicing your feedback once more.

I was always super transparent about this feature and my replies are here to be seen. Gapless was being developed last year but we had to put it on hold for a little bit, because of other features. This is a feature I personally advocated for internally, because it's an industry standard and you couldn't be more right about it.

We've picked this up this year, and right now, as we speak, we're doing some tests on our mobile apps :thumbsup_tone2:

I'll be posting an article about it in the next couple of weeks, letting you know what we've got so far. I'm confident you'll be pleased! And hopefully it answers some of the questions above if not all.

Stay tuned :wink:

Hi @ariel.levin.733 

Thanks for reporting. What version of our app do you have?

Is the plan for this to be app-only? Any love for the web player? Stuck at home, that’s what I use pretty much exclusively these days

No, not at all @tjgavlick - just at the very beginning, the mobile apps are ahead for this release :thumbsup_tone2:

Many thanks for keeping us informed Rudi.

I’m sure everyone appreciates the way you have always tried to keep us up to speed with developments, and it’s good to know that you share our frustration!

@Rudi thanks for the help and replies here. Nice to see thing go ahead and also, is there any possibility of you giving slight estimate when iPad or iPhone gets gapless? Thanks and have nice time there.
