Not yet, because the global rollout is expected to be finished at the end of this week. But congrats that you have got it already. 

I hadn’t realized that this was a global rollout. They will be many happy Deezer punters by the end of the week. 

I have noticed that the Deezer desktop App has not implemented gapless as yet….will this rollout come at the end of the week?

For the desktop apps, there is currently no information as to whether or when they will get gapless. 

I personally think that the web player does the job just as good as the App, so I would recommend sticking with the web player as there seems to be no sign that the Deezer App will be updated to play gapless. 

So it seems I also have gapless playback in the web player now, currently playing the first Andreas Vollenweider album which has some gapless tracks mainly in the second half:

😎 Works perfectly with HiFi streaming, did not test with MP3 audio quality yet. Wagner “Die Walküre” with Sir Georg Solti also perfectly gapless, great.

Hi bluezzbastardzz,

Glad to hear your now up and running with gapless on the web player, It’s been a long time coming.

I have been campaigning for gapless for several years as I have always thought this should have been an integral feature of any streaming service. I’m sure this feature will keep some customers from leaving Deezer and possibly bringing some new customers to Deezer.

I’m baffled that Deezer has not made an official announcement on the updates page to keep the Deezer community up to date with this long awaited feature.

PS. Loved the tracks you posted…….very nice!

Cheers

Yeah, I’m currently updating my postings on other related forums like Spotify, Reddit, HiFi-Forum etc. - Deezer isn’t very fast with interesting announcements, that’s also true. Maybe they want to wait until everyone has gapless playback, or they think that nobody is really interested in it except for a few nerds. 

I think what you said “or they think that nobody is really interested in it except for a few nerds” is more likely. 

By the way, in case you are scrobbling your Deezer listening to Last.fm with the Web Scrobbler browser extension instead of the internal option, there is a new bug now probably related to gapless playback. It is always one track behind showing the “Scrobbling now” track in your Last.fm recent tracks, see the related thread on their GitHub issues:

https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/3337

Also gapless playback might have problems with very large album tracklists like Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen with 232 tracks. At the beginning it works fine, but later gaps might occur again which could be caused by the necessary buffering. I’ll keep an eye on that, it happened yesterday on another computer.

I must say I have never dipped my toe into the world “scrobbling”. I may have to investigate this Web Scrobbler thing in a bit more in depth.

(Not sure it will work on the Chromium browser I use on my Raspberry pi 4)

But thanks for the heads up on this information.

Deezer also has an own internal scrobbling option which might work with your setup if installing the Chrome browser extension does not work, you can enable it in the Sharing Preferences:

Meanwhile I haven’t heard a gap again still testing the Wagner album, hopefully it only happens when there is not enough RAM in a computer to buffer long tracklists with FLAC files.

This bug has been fixed today, so please update your Web Scrobbler version to 2.72.0 in your browser e.g. from the overview of installed extensions or from the Chrome Web Store.
