Ideas: Crossfade / Gapless Audio Playback

[Drana]

Is there a way to blend one song into the next so that there is no dead silence between tracks?

This thread was opened in 2019 so that means it was already an issue for a long time before that.

I guess I'll just heap my feedback on top of all the other feedback...

As a loyal Pandora user since at the very least 2007 I agree with many other people that Pandora is superior to other options when it comes to stations. 

The lack of gapless playback, which every other music player and service seems to have overcome, with a notable exception of Pandora, is somewhat heartbreaking. As a premium subscriber for many years now it **ahem** that I still can't listen to an album where the tracks were meant to bump together without hearing a jarring space while the next track starts. Even imperfect matching would be preferable to seconds of silence in the middle of listening to The Wall.

Really it's my only complaint about Pandora. I'll probably keep supporting you guys anyway but it's frustrating that this has been a desired feature for so long with no feedback.

2025 and still no radio-style, gapless playback like other COMPETITIVE AUDIO STREAMING SERVICES ALREADY HAVE.

Seriously, nothing like playing Pandora at a party and everything goes pin-drop silent while song A plays out and song B sits in the wings waiiiiiiiiting for it’s time to start.

Hey Pandora - gapless playback please

Oh my god listening to albums **ahem** so bad. Like in GKMC, there isn't supposed to be a break between Master Splinter's daughter and BDKMV. THIS SUUCKS FIX IT OH MY GOD!!!

I am seconds away from switching to Spotify bruh.

I switched a couple of years ago with no regrets. I miss one part of
Pandora but I LOVE gapless play during dinner, etc.
