[Connect] Crossfade on Spotify Connect

[nicoboucher73]

Please add Crossfade option while using Spotify Connect!!!

Why not have this option while using Connect???

Think of it, you use CONNECT when you want to send Spotify music to your sound system(i.e: CONNECT compatible Audio amplifier/receiver) when you're having a party. Wouldn't you want continuous playback in this kind of use??

I really do not understand why I would not be able to use this feature because I'm using the your streaming service with a compatible device which is partner with Spotify!!!

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!! PLEASE!

And still we wait!

Wouldnt it be a nice post covid if we can listen to music with a group of people and not have a big frickin gap between tracks!

And yes your probably waisting your time JonnyQ this has been requested for 5 years now!

That's shame 😔

The transition between songs it's what that makes all the difference between "just playing some songs" to a killer Playlist💪💪.

And it mostly necessary when parting,  sitting with friends or just wondering around at home... That all gking on while casting /connect

You creates a fine playlist, picking each song and setting the order so you'll have

 an endless "vibe" going... but instead, you get a "clunky" skipping = "buZz killer" stream ☠️🤦‍♂️

Guys ,  please anable this. 

I get it if it's might be an issue of cross services limitations but get creative and solve it please 🙏

Hi @RikVanMeijeren

I've also used Deezer for years.  They have cross fade only on iOS, Android Beta.  There is no cross fade (currently) on Web player, Desktop or when you cast to a device so I'm not sure where you think Deezer have it?

This thread is to do with Spotify connect e.g. when you're using a device such as a Speaker, HiFi system (which currently doesn't have cross fade with Spotify).

Following three features are disabled when we listen Spotify on Chromecast, WiFi speakers like Google Home or mini, Smart TVs apps and also Playstation/Xbox One:

- Crossfading

- Gapless

- Normalize Volume

These three features are very nice to have, to make the experience more joyful.

Please turn'em also available also outside mobile phones.

• Please make crossfade available on Chromecast and Alexa speakers? I have several playlists mixed specifically for parties and can't use them apart from on my phone. Make it happen please.

Hey there guys, 

It is a missing option that is bugging me fore quite a while now. I really put some effort into a playlist of mine, with a clean transition from song to song. But it's completely worthless as soon as you connect it to another device via "Spotify Connect" like I usally do for parties at home (Alexa Echo) or at work (Sonos Sound System).

Just because "Crossfade" doesn't work with this feature. Is it planned to implement this feature in the foreseeable future?

Thank you paparatzi, the more people demanding this the better!
