I would love to see in the spotify app the ability to choose to play a play list without the gap between songs. Some albums are live recordings and the gap kills the live experience. 

Is there a way to do this already? Should it be on the feature list request?

Totally agree, please do this Spotify!

Hey!

We already have a post in the Spotify Ideas and Feedback board relating to Gapless Playback. You can find that right here. You can use the search bar at the top to see if people have posted ideas before.

Update!

Gapless playback has now been added to Spotify. You can find our blog post about all our brand new features right here!

Is there a way to recommend certain albums to be gapless?  I'm listening to a live album right now that still has short gaps between the songs.  Thanks!

There really should be a way to request albums, updated artwork, gapless playback, etc.  Spotify's competitors do this, and it would help with itemizing what's most requested.

billchase2, which album were you listening to that wasn't gapless yet?

By the way, if it was stored on your computer please be aware that gapless playback is not yet available for local files.

It was this album:

Bernard Allison – Live at the Jazzhaus

I do not have it stored on this computer, so it was not being played locally.  Thanks for checking into this for me!

Thanks for the link. I've given it a listen and it's the same for me.

I think it's just one of the ones we haven't got round to making gapless yet. But we're almost done - so I'll check again in a few days and see if there's any improvement.
