Gapless playback between tracks

Hey @AlexWayfer 

Thanks for getting in touch here too. Your feedback is appreciated throughout the community.

The reason for the Live is because we don't have a 'partially live' status to use here. Gapless is live on our mobile apps already, with desktop and web player coming in the next few months - we've been developing this for quite a while now 

I use Deezer on my desktop/webplayer and am fed up with these annoying gaps.  It totally ruins the listening experience and shouldn’t be that hard to fix. This has been a problem for years and a real nuisance which members frequently mention. Working from home now and listening to more music during these difficult times and this is really starting to get on my nerves.  When will this problem be solved? By Christmas or sometime early next year?  An approximate date would be greatly appreciated. 

That's the idea @groover 

It's under development so it's hard to commit to a specific date, especially now that the end of the year is approaching. I hope to have more news by Xmas, so please stay tuned with us. I'm also waiting for this essential feature! 

@Rudi  Thx for the update!  Hopefully it will be sooner than later. I’m sure a lot of people are looking forward to this feature too.

Yes @groover I use the desktop app myself and gapless was a feature I rooted for a long time. We've been developing for a couple of months already, so hopefully it'll be here very soon 

@Rudi That’s great news! Keep cheering the dev team on. It would be a great Christmas/New Year’s present.

New to Deezer as just left Google due to YTM not being available for kids. Looking around for a replacement and found Deezer to be the best so far but the lack of gapless play back is astonishing. This is a must have basic feature of any music playback software/service. It’s not a complex feature to add and every other streaming service I’ve tried so far has it. The lack of it completely ruins mix albums from classical to EDM.

I’ve found that I can pay to have this feature by upgrading to the HiFi subscription but this doesn’t fit well with the family subscription. As much as I like Deezer so far this could be a deal breaker for me staying with the service.

Reading more of the thread above it implies gapless playback is already available on the android app? Please can someone advise how to activate this as I still get small(under a second) gap between tracks - I don’t get this on the same album on YTM so I assume Its not active rather then not working very well.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us @Jon Black 

Yes, gapless playback is available on our mobile apps. But not all of the MP3 tracks are encoded for this yet - Deezer HiFi has the whole FLAC catalogue enabled for gapless, for example.

Could you please give us an example of the tracks which have gaps?

Hi, I use Deezer Premium on my laptop (gapless works pretty fine), Android smartphone (as well, gap no longer than 0,5 sec.). From 2 weeks I try to listen to Deezer music with use of Bluesound Node 2i. And there is a really serious problem - gaps abt. 30 seconds between following tracks of the same album. And there is no wifi problem - wire internet connection (real transfer 200 Mb/s). Other services - no such problem. Any ideas?

Yes, it works on the mobile, but when I stream via chromecast, it doesn't work.  I am using beta version.
