Skip Intro/Outro

It’d be cool if on a per-song basis, we could set a length (in seconds) to skip the beginning of the song and/or end of the song.

 

For example, Opiate by tool is a 8:30 minute track, but the song ends at about 5:20. So, being able to select a Skip Outro setting on the song with a value of 190 seconds would be really handy.

 

Other songs have 10-30 intros where it’d be useful to set a skip on them. Similarly, there are songs that have both. It’s a tiny piece of meta-data to add to tracks, but it’d make listening to a mix so much better. It’s a feature that I haven’t seen any other streaming service use. So, this would be something that sets deezer apart in a good way.

 

If you want to expand the feature further, you could track the setting for a song from the users and use that data to automatically skip intros/outros with a setting.

 

This functionality is the biggest thing I miss moving from individual mp3s to streaming services. With my own mp3s, I would just edit the file to crop out the intros and outros. While deezer does provide personal mp3s, they don’t always work. It’s also a really clunky process. I’d rather not have to upload a bunch of mp3s just to crop intros/outros from songs.

    Would be awsome if we could have popular skip points too

    I’d upvote this a hundred times if I could!

    I’m a person that has a decent amount of electronic music in my library, and although I don’t mind listening to intro/outro occasionally, however I do recognize that for most of the time intro/outro serves no purpose outside of the DJ booth. And yes, some releases have “radio version”, but most of tracks don’t.

    Having possibility to create cue points of “from” and “to” would help massively to create your own “radio versions” and be able to introduce your friends to certain songs or even genres as a whole.

    Hi @Pikt, Thank you so much for your enthusiastic support!

    We really appreciate hearing how this feature could enhance your listening experience, especially for electronic music.

    The idea of creating your own "radio versions" with custom cue points is fantastic.

    We'll definitely pass this suggestion along to our development team.
