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

Thanks a lot for coming back @Erwin L 

It could be that we don't have a FLAC version of those tracks and as MP3 they haven't been encoded yet. Could I have some links for the exact tracks so that I can test with the devs here on our side?

Have you tried reinstalling the app to see if it makes any difference?

I’ve also tried this on Android using Deezer Family plan. There’s definitely a marked improvement from the huge gaps of the past, but there’s still a noticeable stutter  between tracks of some albums and full gaps in others. I tried after getting a popup from the app basically announcing Gapless playback and leading me to the Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon album, which is perfectly gapless by the way.. no stutters there.

In summary my listening experience so far:
True Gapless:
1. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

Noticeable Stutter:
1. Armin van Buuren - A State of Trance Yearmix 2019

Still Big Gaps:
1. Kanye West - Late Registration (Only track 1 and 2 should have no gap)
2. Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

 

Deezer Version 6.2.7.126 on Android 9

I made the mistake of uninstalling and reinstalling the app.. and all the gaps came back. I don’t have gapless playback in any album now.

UPDATE:
I joined the Beta program on the Play Store and the experience is much smoother! The Coldplay and Armin van Buuren Albums have flawless playback, and the Kanye West one has only a slight stutter. Great job and let’s get this version out!!!

Today I received BIG banner on my Deezer PREMIUM app about Gapless playback and when clicked on my phone screen it showed me off the Pink Floyd album. Please stop these ads appearing!!! I pay for AD FREE Deezer!!! I already know about Gapless everything. It took half the screen!!!

Hi @hpguru 

 

it’s not really an advert is it?  It’s more an notification of a new feature!

I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

Yes, but how big it is…

They also post me with banner about new releases. This way is TOO PUSHY and annoying. They have already bell icon on the app, please please please make all updates go here!!!

Ok, so I give last chance for Deezer to come with gapless desktop app, been waiting few months already, while paying HiFi subscription, but to no avail.
Any news, if it’s even in development?

Hey @hpguru 

That's the idea with the notification area, thanks for supporting the idea and understanding the banner.

Hi @Vladimír H 

It is being developed for quite a while now, don't worry. Our teams are running against time on this one, I can assure you - stay tuned to the community :v_tone2:

Excuse me, what does “LIVE” status of this issue means? I’m experiencing this problem on web player, it’s annoying. I think, it’s not too hard to initialize a next `Audio` JS element before current end for pre-loading and start immediately.
