Gapless playback between tracks

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

How is this still a thing? I’m trying the service again after HiFi was added and the app looks really nice, the sound quality is really good as I’m fleeing away from Tidal’s MQA, the improvement is notable, but I get the horrible gap between songs even with downloaded tracks.
Try listening to Pink Floyd - Animals or Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence with those horrible gaps.

It looks like the app is just not ready.

On LP/vinyl, you could visually see the separation between the songs, yet, it played gapless: Pink-Floyd albums, or “What’s going on”, live albums, etc…
Audio tapes … of course
Winamp in 2003 (with direct sound output) … gapless too

Deezer Hi-Fi in 2021 … unable ???

I just left tidal, but the lack of gapless playback might have me resubcribe. I listen to a lot of concerts.

I was looking to switch from Spotify and this is the only reason I did not. Cancelling the subscription until it is fixed.

Why not simply add a .5-1 second cross fade for gap-less playback. I heard cross fade being mentioned in this thread… It would seem like a simple approach to this?

This seems to be still an issue of the Windows Deezer App in 2022. It's unbelievable that you're still lacking such a basic functionality. Yes it does work on the Android App, but as I'm planning to use the upcoming Deezer Remote feature to control my windows media computer next to my amp, this issue really is a show stopper for me. Considering the potential quality increase by not having to use Bluetooth anymore for the connection I was even considering going back to a HiFi subscription. Unfortunately my promising thoughts about utalizing Deezer Remote are likely to fail over such an trivial feature missing.

Please Deezer, hire some developers and to increase your development pace.

New user here coming from Spotify after being fed up with Spotify HiFi being delayed. I must say the lack of gapless playback on the desktop is completely surprising. When comparing Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer I didn’t even think about it, so basic does the feature seem to me.

I’m glad it’s high on the list but here’s to hoping this will be ported from the mobile apps soon.

I am a new user. I'm old in general, and it's my first streaming platform too. I chose Deezer.
First impressions were good, very good. Until I got here ...
Besides listening to all the classic albums mentioned above, I also like listening to music / sounds for meditation ...
And guess what? :sweat_smile:

This one inconvenience (well, plus the lack of an equalizer) makes me rather go to the competition ...
