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

Why no crossfade available on Android, google home etc. Is this planned? I may have to defect to Spotify.
Plesse advise.
Thanks.

Hi @leBarX you can vote for this idea here in the ideas forum. Hopefully we can offer this soon on Android 😉

I love the premise and concept of Deezer , I just wonder why the Deezer development team hasn't considered crossfading and gapless audio incoporated in the audio settings . Would love that it will make my Deezer app complete 😄
Thanks

For those who posted in this thread. Crossfade is currently available in the Deezer BETA app which means it may soon be available in the stable version. To gain access to this feature now, sign up for the Deezer Android BETA and follow the steps. After installation go to Settings > Deezer Labs > Crossfade duration. I have noticed an issue with crossfade if a track is set to repeat (it clips the end of the song) but this is a minor issue that will hopefully be resolved soon.

CROSSFADE IS BROKEN!
I'm in the beta program.
This provides a crossfade feature.
I've set the delay to zero seconds.
As everyone knows, crossfade set at
zero seconds provides gapless playback,
And if correctly implemented, is identical
to Gapless.

There is an error in the coding write of
crossfade, became at zero seconds,
crossfade should cede to no-break.

I was the Program originator for crossfade,
back in 1972. After this sucess, I went on to
produce my first album, Pink Floyds, Dark
Side of the Moon, before going on to produce
Mike Oldfields Tubular Bells. 🤔

I've got both Roger Walters and Mike Oldfield
sitting next to me. They both love Deezer. But
the lack of Gapless playback makes them very
sad. (Roger is actually crying)

Please fix Deezer and do Gapless playback.
Thanks in advance from me, Roger and Mike.

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?
I'm a "Deezerhead" (fanboy) and just love music! (Please note even though I love all things Deezer I do not work for Deezer and therefore cannot assist with account issues etc.)

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 😉
