Gapless Playback Desktop App

Quite simply I dont get gapless playback using the desktop app.

I do get gapless audio on sonos and on my phone app too but not when using the desktop app. I am using a USB dac and was hoping to enjoy FLAC via the DAC. I have tried headphones plugged directly into my laptop eliminating the DAC. I get the same result when using the desktop built in speakers.

What am I doing wrong?

I have checked the settings but cant find anywhere that mentions gapless. "Listening to Dark Side Of The Moon" there is a big pause between tracks 1 and 2.

Am I the only one?

        OK thankyou. I wont lol. I cant believe that it could be considered a feature, its essential. Off to Tidal. Thanks for reply though.

          By the way, I just learned from this Reddit thread about necessary Tidal improvements that they neither offer gapless playback.

            Still no gapless after 2 years? Unbelievable. Every other streaming service supports it.

              We've got gapless on our mobile platforms @snaut but we've got to prepare our desktop app for it first. Rest assured, development is underway :thumbsup_tone2:

                I just decided to try Deezer for possibly better sound quality, but am very disappointed to discover that the desktop app doesn’t do gapless playback. For music that continues seamlessly from track to track this flaw far outpaces any advantages that HiFi sound might have. I’d rather listen to Wagner operas at 64kbps than endure these continual interruptions in the music! What are your plans for fixing this? Will it happen soon? I’m getting the sense that this has been going on for quite some time. Thanks!

                  It has been delayed, unfortunately @David Sumrell but yes, it's heavily on our plans. We were planning to launch a bit after the mobile launch. But we've had to tackle other priorities in the desktop app in order to pave the way for this feature. I'll forward your feedback on and I hope to have good news in the near future!

                      It is taking a while indeed @Yossi Kozay 

                      Good news is that we've had a recent update from the teams and work is progressing as expected. Hopefully, we should have this feature at some point before the end of the year. Thanks for the feedback and patience!
