Gapless playback between tracks

Hello , Is it possible to listen to a mix of music without a 2sec break after every song ?

Crossfade, if correctly implemented, is NOT equal with gapless @ 0 sec.
Gapless is NOT customizable, whereas crossfade must be.
Gapless should be enabled by default, even without user consent (for certain albums / track transitions and split mixes). All the user should customize/activate is crossfade, gapless should just be there when it needs to be. The gapless option should probably be exposed (using a GUI feature) for the uploader/maintainer, between tracks, and should not be overrode by any crossfade option available to the listener.

Hi Sander 🙂 Gapless playback is not an option yet, but on the iOS app and on browser you can enable the crossfader. That might help 🙂

Hi @Anja

on browser?

Ah, strange. I only tested it on the non-HTML5 version, where it is available, but can't find it in the new version either. Let me check with the team if there are any plans 🙂 Thanks for pointing it out 😉

oh yes please on the web (and beta desktop) 🙂 🙂

Hey, so it's indeed still work in progress. It's probably not going to be implemented before autumn, but we are definitely working on it 🙂 I'll keep you posted

Hi,
I just wanted to know how to set my app in order to be able to listen to a full album without the break between the tracks.
Couldn't find where to set it.
Thanks, Ran

@ranyedidya check this discussion for more info on this 🙂 and don't forget to vote 😉

Some albums (mainly live music) are meant to be played without spaces between the tracks. It will be useful if Deezer has this option.

I want to crossfade the songs from my party playlist so that each songs fades into the next smoothly - as if there were DJ mixing the tunes. How do install this? I m on Android.
Txs 4 your help!

Hi Marine, Crossfade is not yet implemented on Android. It is available to some Beta user under labs, but not fully for all users. Any chance you can log in on an iphone? It's fully implemented on ios.

Gapless playback should be default.

We need gapless playback.

Orchestral concerts, Enigma, Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield and any other DJ mix albums like Global Underground, Nubreed, Ministry of Sound, Cream, Cafe del Mar, Buddha Bar and so on have taken musical flow from a 5-minute journey to a continuous hour and more.

I like Deezer's Flow algorithm, it serves well to my palate, even music that's new to me. Well done.

But from time to time, I would like to have a change of taste and get the magical flow from other sources like the equally genius artists associated with the names mentioned above. They have put together albums that flow continuously from track to track but sound choppy on Deezer because Deezer doesn't have gapless playback.

So if only Deezer has gapless playback, I wouldn't be looking beyond Deezer.

Aghhhhh you had me excited reading that. Nothing will play after I've done that. Shame, I love crossfade on iPad/iphone, really want it on MacBook

I tried free 30 days trial but that ended in few hours because of lack of this very basic feature.

This should be #1 priority since as it's current state, Deezer is a broken player!

Well, i'm sad to see this is still a problem.
I tried Deezer years ago, but switched to Spotify after the free month just because of no gapless support, even that i liked the Deezer interface more.
They could have had my money for 5 years now but didn't.
What is really embarrassing is the text in the Deezer advertising for hifi.
"The music you love, as it's meant to be heard" !..... say what! full of gaps...

Signed up to Deezer yesterday. Won't go past the free trial. The lack of gapless playback listening to live albums ruins the entire thing

Would love to give this music streaming full marks but it falls down in one very significant area for me. Deezer puts a pause between tracks which makes listening to live albums and albums where one track feeds into another. It makes for a very frustrating listen. If this could be fixed I'd give 5* and remain a paid up subscriber. I know a certain Swedish streaming service doesn't have this problem. Is this just French eccentricity...

It would be very nice to make the crossfade option available on Android devices, as it already exists on the iOs app.

Hi, is there an option to prevent pause between tracks in a live album? Now it is disturbing, because the tracks are normally following up live. Thank you

Hey there!
Not yet a feature, but a fantastic idea in our ideas forum. Vote for the idea and it will hopefully be usable for you soon! 🙂

Im gonna go back to Spotify becouse of gapless playback. Shame on you Deezer.

Hoi,
Ik luister met veel plezier naar deezer Hifi. Toch ervaar ik een minpuntje. Er is altijd PAUZE TUSSEN DE VERSCHILLENDE TRACKS. Als een cd hoort door te lopen, maar wel een tracklist heeft, of is gemixed, dan hoor ik steeds een hinderlijke pauze. vooral hinderlijk als het een ix is en aan het begin van het nummer dus nog het vorige nummer eindigt, na de stilte. Ik hoop dat hier iets aan te doen is.

Just join the beta... it's already in there!
