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?

        And another 3 month have passed. No Crossfade, no EQ, no Gapless, no Roon. What do you actually do for a living?…. :(

        There are already some HIFI alternatives. What is Your region?

              This is about the desktop app and not the web version. Gapless for the web has been around for a while. Desktop app has not received gapless so far.

                  Sorry didnt know that. Thats strange given that the web app is the same as the desktop app. It shouldnt be hard to make that in desktop as well.

                  Anyways, the web version seems less buggy .

                  Hello @matt0509 @Yossi Kozay 

                  Thank you for your patience. It’s taking a while but it is still on our radar so we hope that the feature will be ready very soon,

                  Thanks! 

                  Could you define “really soon” for us please? It’s 11 months later and there’s still no gapless play on the desktop app. I’m advocating to drop Spotify in favor of Deezer among my friends, even allowing them on my family account, but lack of gapless play is in the top 3 of “reasons not to jump”, next to “I am too lazy” and “but what about my playlists?”.

                   

                  You’re losing out on customers, and they all remember “Deezer is subpar to its competitors” because of that. I know it’s superior, but come ON. 4 years should be enough, no?

                    I’m a bit disappointed that they’ve promised this for a while, and then they just go radio silent until they come back and promise it again. I’m tempted to go with another service where customer service gives what they promise. Not sure if that exists but I’m going to go look.
