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

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

 

Like many Deezer issues this one’s been ‘high on the list’ for as long as I’ve been a subscriber - 6 years this Sunday. My french is OK but clearly bientôt (soon) means something different across the pond than it does here.

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

 

I’ve seen this comment about the lack of an equalizer before and have always found it odd. The mobile apps do have an equalizer function while there are dozens of free equalizer apps available for pretty much any operating system that would help not only Deezer but every other app that makes sound. While it doesn’t help with gapless have you tried one of them?

Upvoting as well.

I made the switch back from Spotify (you know, Rogan...) and I am trying to convince friends and family. Lack of gapless play is the single most objection I heard. It’s terribly annoying when listening to live jazz albums, classical music and so forth.

You’re ignoring a growing customer base of not tech-savvy people that just go with the option they’ve heard about most often (that’s Spotify alas) and only switch if the experience is matched. And sad to say, this lack of gapless play makes them believe it doesn’t.

I think gapless is only available in the high fi plan.  Boo . Yeah there is a lot of basic features lacking from spotify. The queing system is bizzare sometimes you can queue some times not.

Adding another comment to the pile. This needs to be implemented in the web player asap. Such a basic feature.

Just arrived from Spotify (thanks to Rogan and Hifi audio) to be hit in the face by gaps in my dance tracks.. This thread is 4 years old.. Deezer WTH are you playing at?

I’ll stick around for my trial period then i’m off.

Yeah, same here except off Spotify after them caving in to the censorship demands. Seems like Deezer is yet another company with many “software engineers” but no few developers who can write code.

To be fair that was another big reason for me. 

I tried Apple first. They have gapless but I didn't like the fact it was missing resume between devices. 

Deezer has that but missing gapless is inexcusable.

Yeah, but seems like it’s more likely Apple will implement resume between devices before Deezer manages to get remote playback, gapless playback and cross faders working. My strongest contender is Apple Music, especially with the Apple One deal, since I have all their other services, and I went with their trial too. What needs to happen there is them to fix some corruption on my Library sync, where an attempt of a failed import of my old Apple Music (previously iTunes) library refuses to get deleted remotely in order for me to being able to trying it again.

This is rather pathetic in this day and age. Been subscribing for a while but am currently on a three month free trial with Amazon Music Unlimited. Their desktop app is even worse than Deezer's, but gapless playback works flawlessly. As soon as I've transferred all of my favourites across to Amazon I'm away.
