Do not add gaps between songs
One thing that annoy me is that Spotify adds gaps between song that should not be there. Is there not a way to buffer the next song so it starts as soon as the last songs ends.

It's actually not a buffering issue it's that we don't support gapless playback at the moment. It is something we are considering though.

I also think gapless play for mix albums and live albums is absolutely essential. I'm just listening to "Since I Left You" by The Avalanches and the gaps between tracks are extremely distracting. I'm not interested in a crossfading feature at all, but albums should be presented in the way they were originally intended and for a great deal of them that means no gaps between tracks. Thanks.

I think for live albums (or the dreaded mix CDs) gapless is essential. Otherwise, it's a "would be nice". I find crossfading on live albums to be a bit off putting.

Buffering would allow for a crossfade effect, which would be awesome!

Inappropriate?I think it would be even nicer with a Crossfading feature. Then we're starting to talk real usability.

Inappropriate?But i think gapless play or crossfading should be very dependant on the albums which are played. Most of the albums does have gaps or crossfading between the tracks, in contrary to many concept albums where gapless play is intentional and should happen when played in Spotify too!

Inappropriate?I agree with greedoe; for mix CDs and live albums there should be no gaps.

"albums should be presented in the way they were originally intended" - Absolutely right! I'm amazed at how people seem to put up with breaks in recordings that were intended to segue from track to track. I think it may stem from the early days of MP3 playing when it was a novelty just having digital music playing on small portable devices. -
Inappropriate?To Spotify:
Just add a cool icon for the gapless/crossfade feature right beside the "shuffle" and "repeat" buttons. That would be great and easy to switch on and off regarding the issue on mixed music vs. concept albums.
Easy as pie!

Inappropriate?Gapless support in Spotify would be awesome.
A function that would definitely be noticable on live albums and alike. -
Inappropriate?I don't understand why anything other than a rigid adherence to the original timing and structure of the recording should be considered. No "novel features" are required, just reproduce the recording as it would have played form it's original media please.

Inappropriate?Is it just me but now when you can "go offline" with your playlist - there's no gaps in those playlists?1 Comment Add a comment

It seems there is less of a gap. Could it be the time it takes to check if its online, and if the track is available locally first, gives a slightly longer pause? (Currently listening to Monty Python – The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Executive Version and yes there is less of a gap between tracks...even no gap).

Inappropriate?This is something I've just noticed so wanted to add my voice to this debate, it's a bit annoying (or very) to listen to a great mix yet have little gaps and jumps in there! I have tried using offline mode and this doesn't make any difference. Please consider adding this (a la iTunes) Spotify, even if it is only for offline use. Pretty please? -
Inappropriate?Yes! I would love this. It's not really a feature request for my part, but more like a feature demand. It doesn't cost much, and it's tasty.
