[GENERAL] Trim OR create a clip of a song/trackIn discussion

Dear Deezer Support, I cannot comprehend why the audio/media publishers allow this to happen: listen to the end of Hans Zimmer/Patrick Cassidy - Vide Cor Meum song - if you dare. This problem occurs quite often: at the end of the song/track (or at the beginning if e.g. it’s a concert record) the editor (in case of my example it’s Universal Classics Group) keeps together certain sounds before/after the main music/recordings which can completely ruin the experience of the listener. Countless albums (especially old audio CDs) have also utilised the gapless playback feature which ends up with the same annoying result. My request would be if you could add a feature to allow the user to create an alternative version of a song as a “clip” by trimming or defining a certain time-period to be played, please. I’m aware of a workaround: manually editing and uploading the tracks to ´My MP3s´. However for doing so one legally has to be able to get hold of the original file of the song. (I personally know/like plenty of old songs with this kind of defect.) In addition this feature would allow users to create simple playlists behaving like mixes. One more note: Perhaps this could be a combined innovation with some sort of bookmarking feature. (My immature idea is like having special bookmarks, such as START/STOP, which can be utilised within playlists.) I’m not certain about the legal background of this feature but I believe it shouldn’t be an issue. Thank you in advance, Geck0hu
