Gapless playback or crossfade?

I am using mainly Deezer PC app. When you click play or when a track changes to the next it takes a while for the new track to come in, hindering the listening experience.

Any way to do crossfade or gapless?

    Not for now, but this is something they are perhaps bringing on the table at one point.

    Like @hpguru said, @Yuval Frank it's on our plans, just a bit delayed - stay tuned the community and you'll know when it's coming :thumbsup_tone2:

    You would think this issue would be an easy fix.

    Hi @Zendo.master,  Just to clarify, Gapless playback is available on Android, iOS, and Web (though not on the desktop app) for all audio quality. More details here.

    We also have the Crossfade feature, but it is currently only available for iOS.

    For more details on the Crossfade feature, you can check here: Deezer Crossfade.

    Crossfade on android has been in beta for five years. Give them time......

    I don’t have any update or ETA for this I am afraid.

    Thanks for coming back to me Jamie. No worries, thought I’d check incase I missed the update and just hadn’t spotted how to do it… I’m assuming there must be a legal reason why it can’t be done as opposed to a functional one as you already rolled out the cross fader functionality years ago… wonder if it’s because you don’t want to encourage people to ‘DJ’ loosely with the cross fader functionality therefore broadcasting from their Deezer accounts due to copyright :-(
