Gapless playback between tracks

[quote user="Andre::s::D." Keaton]Hi, I just got here to let Deezer know (as if they didn't already, via my twitter and facebook posts...) that I'm seriously considering unsubscribing, because the lack of a gapless option is inexcusable. I've been waiting for one year and it's still not even been discussed. Deezer Help and support simply replies "but we have crossfade, try!" as if it was the same thing. First of all, there's no crossfade for Windows 10 and for the Android feature app, and second IT IS NOT THE SAME THING. Try and listen to David Bowie's Diamond Dogs album, or any of Pink Floyd's, or any frigging live album, and you'll see.

I'll second that. The thing is, any concert experience is ruined without gapless. I came from Tidal because of the music I can't find there (and because of the tons I was paying for and couldn't bother to listen to), but I will leave unless the desktop app sees major improvments (although I could hook it up with JPlay 6.2).

Yesterday I asked Deezer support when they plan to introduce gapless playback.
This is their answer:
»Thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry but I don't have any date to share with you :/«
So it’s back to Spotify, then :)
Hopefully they will launch lossless playback soon.

Haven't used my Deezer account for while myself and today I remembered why..... No Gapless audio streaming!!??
It ruins all the great live albums!!!!!

I know I'm going to switch to Spotify if you don't fix it

Really? Why? Spoty has also this big problem.

We need gapless playback as a setting per album - some albums don't need it, other albums are TOTALLY RUINED without Gapless Playback (and Crossfade is not the same as Gapless)...

This is the reply received flagging that a body of the community have requested this.

Anyone for 'pass the parcel' ? I guess we are too small a group of paying customers to warrant serious effort.

Spotify has gapless audiostreaming, which is great for mixes and live albums, so I don't to which problem you are referring to.


Deezer has the crossfade functionality (not for Android users, and I'm Android user) but even if it's set to "0" there's still a gap which is annoying.


I think gapless audiostreaming must be the standard

Is there any way that we can get smooth music passes. I mean it could so nice in house parties. Like dj programs. When you change the song current song will turn off the volume then new music will volume increase very slowly

Just adding my vote for proper gapless playback across all systems and platforms. Currently, I’m auditioning Tidal and Deezer as a possible lossless replacement for Spotify. Tidal (arguably) has the edge on pure sound quality (MQA for some albums), but has horrible UI and UX. Spotify wins on usability hands down, but no lossless. Deezer seems like it could be the happy middle ground, but the lack of gapless is a real knock against it. Too bad.

Just adding support for this getting added. I can remember when iTunes introduced this over 10 years ago people were saying "Finally!", so it's sad to see Deezer so far behind the times with this.

Along with the library limit, this is my only other major problem with Deezer, fix these issues and I'll be incredibly happy.
