In courtesy of @Rudi replying to my suggestion in the related gapless playback announcement from seven months ago I’ll make a new thread with the same question. :wink: As all suffering desktop users know, gapless playback is neither working in the desktop app nor in the web player yet while most mobile users are already having gapless fun - scandal!

So what will be the first album you will listen to when gapless playback is finally working in your app? Mobile users are tolerated to post their first album as well that they have listened to when gapless playback became available on their mobile device. :innocent: Also using MP3 streaming instead of HiFi is allowed, even if this may take longer to become available for your favorite album than HiFi gapless playback on desktop.

I’ll probably start with Richard Wagner’s complete opera cycle “Der Ring des Nibelungen”, all four operas in a row, more than 14 hours of sweet G_A_P_L_E_S_S HiFi lossless FLAC music. I’m undecided yet which performance and/or conductor to choose - Sir Georg Solti (famous first stereo release in the late 50s), Daniel Barenboim (live recording from the Bayreuth Festspielhaus in the 90s), hmm… :thinking:

Ps. What is gapless playback?

pps. Awww I seeeee, we don’t have gapless on Deezer!
in that case it’s definitely “The Wall” or “Is This The Life We Really Want?”

Waters has a tendency to finish songs without any form of an end (I love it but it so requires a gapless pb…)

or maybe “Seventeen Seconds” by The Cure

or “Beyond the Maze” by Dreadful Shadows

Good day.

I would listen Refuzion - Voyage on my Deezer Premiere gapless.

Everytime I feel lost in my life, everytime I feel like there is no tomorrow, I enjoy this finest release of my favourite artist #1 on Deezer 2020 and probably 2021 as well. He set me free and on my musical Journey this year 2020 and it was my greatest salvation after not so good 2019. Thanks for him.

He’s Refuzion, and he’s my reason to live :pray:

The Things You Hated was freeing, it exactly tells a story of my life. In 2019 I needed to RUN.

Run to meet the sun after bad relationship which turned into room mate situation, and was full of drama, and reasons to leave. But I was indeed fooled for his love. Now out from demons.

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable opinion about gapless musical journey.

I will check some of these tracks out you mentioned in your post.

I don’t even know the genre, seems jazz or classical for me?

Right, it’s classical music, a very long opera cycle by a German composer. But it is a good example of how gapless playback is indeed necessary to follow the flow of the music, or else it gets destroyed immediately, e.g. between the first and second track of the Rheingold introduction which illustrates the river Rhine and the hidden treasure in it.

ZZee ya, Hans-Jürgen (Bluezz Bastardzz and Indigo Rocks, live album on Deezer, last.fm/user/hjbardenhagen)

Great, great suggestions @bluezzbastardzz

Once we finishing developing gapless on our desktop app, I want to listen to these two:

Good picks @Rudi and Im pretty sure that I will also listen to The Wall in gapless. Pink Floyd really needs to be heard as gapless.. And some live-albums from different bands.

By the way, do you have any timeframe for when the gapless will be added to the desktop client?
