My Question or Issue

I imported some local files to Spotify on Android. I can play them, but for some Tracks I am having issues with the transition to the next track. I know there is no Gapless playback for local files yet but I can hear another glitch that appears right before the track transition so for songs that are meant to be Gapless there are actually two glitches on the transition, the first one is quite short, I would guess a few ten milliseconds, the second one is a bit longer, I guess a few hundred milliseconds.

You can hear the first glitch for example after the first track of the following album when imported to Spotify. https://noisetrade.com/tylerbryant/from-the-sandcastle

Other players don't have issues there, so it can't be the file that's broken.

I think that at least the first, shorter glitch should be fixed, it's quite annoying.

The best imho would be if the fix would be just to implement Gapless playback for local files. Can't imagine it to be such a big deal.
