Songs flow together without those annoying breaks (thanks, gapless playback!). But, I had an idea that could make things even smoother...

Imagine this: you're chilling to your favorite playlist, totally lost in the music, and then BAM! Silence between songs. A crossfade feature would fix that! It would basically blend the ends of songs together a bit, creating a super smooth transition for an even more awesome listening experience.

Think DJ-style mixing, but for your own personal playlists! This would be perfect for anyone who loves that uninterrupted flow of music.

What do you guys think? Let's make Deezer the king of seamless listening!

I second that. I would love a feature that takes the end of one song, say the last 5 or 8 seconds, and mixes it into the beginning of another, and does that song after song. Something that would be easy to toggle on and off. I have a hip-hop playlist with over 500 of my favorite rap songs, and it would be awesome to have such a feature while it's playing on shuffle mode (or any mode). Thanks!


Sounds great !

Hi, ​@Kooshal Dahoo ​@vikthequick ​@Evonos! Thanks for the suggestion!

Crossfade is already available on iOS, so you can enjoy smooth transitions between songs there.

As for gapless playback, it works on the app and web, but not on the desktop version right now.

Man what is with deezer and it's logic of having different features everywhere ? What's with feature parity ?

 

It's insane how many feature I encountered now in the last 2 months which only work on one platform 


Thanks for the information, ​@Leonídia.Deezer. Do you know when Crossfade will be available for Android and on the web app for desktop?


I think  “some” (so maybe not all) Android beta testers can already enable Crossfade in their Labs settings, see this support article:

Deezer Crossfade – Deezer Support

Concerning gapless playback in the desktop app, they updated the app from version 6.0.280 to version 7.0.1 yesterday removing old code, but no new features. Maybe this will enable future fixes though, only guessing. It’s good to know that they are still working on it, too.


Thanks for your help! I went into the Google App Store, signed up to be a Beta-version tester, dowloaded the Beta version for Android, and that has the crossfade function in the Deezer Labs section – pretty cool.

Something for later on down the road when AI (hopefully) becomes good: A DJ-function that uses AI to sequence and mix the songs with more precision and feel than a simple crossfade function would do. Crossfade is really cool, but it’s a one-trick pony, and doesn’t take into account the different tempos of songs, when the music or vocals cut out, come in, and things of that nature. It would be really cool to integrate that type of functionality into a playlist if and when AI ever gets to that point.

Thanks!


Glad I could help. By the way, yesterday someone on the Deezer subreddit posted a new method for the Deezer desktop app to enable gapless playback, too:

Enable custom features in the windows desktop application (e.g. gapless playback)

And the update to desktop version 7.0.1 has enabled support for the Silicon CPUs on Mac computers which should result in a better performance of the Deezer macOS app especially on laptops (faster, less power consumption):
