Delay between songs

Regulus — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 15:43:03 GMT

Many of my downloads are full albums. When playing them, there is a pause that happens between songs that is not in the original album. When there are adjoining songs that should just roll from one to the next, Pandora has a pause of a couple seconds between the songs. Not the end of the world but it is annoying.

Is there any way to remove that artificial break between songs?

Hi @Regulus

Welcome to community!

Can you please confirm this make and model of the device this is happening on.

When you say downloads do you mean the collected content you have in your collection, or downloaded albums for Offline Listening?

Could you give me an example of an album this is happening on?

Appreciate the assist!

This would be content that I have in my collection. I have not compared that same content downloaded for offline listening to see if it would playback differently.

Most often I am listening on a Windows 11 PC, Dell Optiplex 7070 running at a site with synchronous, 1Gb Internet. Other times I am running it through my Samsung S24 phone via bluetooth. The same pause happens there as well.

A good example would be from

Handel: Messiah, HWV 56 by Choir of New College Oxford, Academy of Ancient Music & Edward Higginbottom

There are 52 tracks on that album. A good example there is:

Track 14 should roll immediately into track 15.

Thanks for the details, @Regulus. I'm going to forward this to the team who monitor our library to further review. Thanks for your letting us know and for your patience in the meantime.

I have the same question, when listening to live albums they should roll right into each other and not have a pause in between. I also would like to be able to have a settings to stop that. Using Samsung s23 Ultra.
