Flow now plays music from the country I live in. It didn't before, don't know what happened. I really can't stand it, horrible & stupid lyrics. Anyway, I would really like to exclude them from Flow, as it just turned useless for me. A feature which excludes music from selected countries would be awesome. Thank you!
Crossfade, if correctly implemented, is NOT equal with gapless @ 0 sec. Gapless is NOT customizable, whereas crossfade must be. Gapless should be enabled by default, even without user consent (for certain albums / track transitions and split mixes). All the user should customize/activate is crossfade, gapless should just be there when it needs to be. The gapless option should probably be exposed (using a GUI feature) for the uploader/maintainer, between tracks, and should not be overrode by any crossfade option available to the listener.
[quote=Daniel Pugh]Can't see a cross-fade on Android and it's a bit pants - again remembering botched gapless implementations from when I was a young lad where "cross-fade" was provided as a holding ploy while developers think long and hard...[/quote] Crossfade (when present, it isn't on Android) only works acceptably well when silence is cut of at the end of the currently playing track and the beginning of the next. If the total silence of both tracks is greater then the configured crossfade time, you won't hear it, making it completely useless. This means: [list=1] [*]Somebody at Deezer should decide an acceptable level when the cutting of the silence should occur on both tracks. -20db is usually good enough, but it's a matter of perception and tastes in the end [*]This means the current track needs processing "ahead", the current track should be cached,then analyzed & processed (detect "the end of the track", detect the silence, cutoff from a certain point) [*]The next tr
Yep, I would also like to see this. There's a third party app for the web player on Chrome, but i'm not using the web player, and has quite a few issues, isn't a very smooth experience (occasional glitches ruins the experience).
If it's a technical problem, they should seek for help from somebody more competent. It's not that easy to implement gapless on all platforms, but not impossible. Others have done it. But they just throw that nonsense reply at us every time, like a call center narator reading the same text over and over: "our solution for gapless is crossfade". Bleah.
This is getting really ridiculous. Deezer, wth, gapless has been constantly around since the '80s, it was meant as a way to express/compose music, not a futuristic gimmick. You're killing the feeling. You're disregarding/disrespecting the artists. You're ruining brilliant ideas. You're destroying the mood. You're just stubbornly headbutting music. You are saying crossfade is your answer for this. You gotta be kidding me. Name one, just one artist, any artist, which says crossfade is fine for their gapless album. You say crossfade is the answer. But you only support crossfade on the web player. Where's your answer for gapless on Android or Windows? How's this called? Hypocrisy? It cannot be your call how one's music is served to the masses, it has to be the artist's call. The technology is there for you to use and implement gapless, but you don't. You either have very poor developers or a mediocre project leader with communist mentality. I'm not sorry for being hard on you. You're
[quote=tkn]Just adding my vote for proper gapless playback across all systems and platforms. Currently, I’m auditioning Tidal and Deezer as a possible lossless replacement for Spotify. Tidal (arguably) has the edge on pure sound quality (MQA for some albums), but has horrible UI and UX. Spotify wins on usability hands down, but no lossless. Deezer seems like it could be the happy middle ground, but the lack of gapless is a real knock against it. Too bad.[/quote] Exactly, couldn't agree more.
I just subscribed to Deezer HIFI. But i listen to mixes all the time, so it was the first thing i noticed.. no gapless support. Gapless is mandatory for me. I think i am going to unsubscribe and stick to Tidal. Unacceptable for me for the mixes to get interrupted.
