Option to add silent pause between tracks

I plea for an option to have a silent gap between tracks. Adjustable in length, so for example 3 or 15 seconds, depending on your preference. For some music genres it makes the experience so much nicer to slowly peter out and pounder for a few seconds, before being taken up in a new song. Especially classic music NEEDS silence, it's part of the genre. Also playlists with different genres packed together require a mental transition. Time to reset the ears and mind.

 

I would like this to be a standard option, just like the option to crossfeed 0 to 15 seconds, a standard option that you can switch on or off, or adjust in length, depending on your mood.

 

I know there is a workaround to add silent tracks, but that doesn't work when shuffle mode is activated. And it's quite a non-solution if you've 200 tracks in a playlist and want 5 seconds silence between each. A one-button solution is what we need, and it shouldn't be too difficult to make.

 

So many people these days are easily overstimulated. Including millions of Spotify users. For them it's a matter of mental comfort.

 

Think of a serious podcast about a humanitarian crisis and you forgot that you had a a heavy metal song sitting next in queue...

 

I need 'turnover' time before the new song sets in. It allows one to really enjoy the song until the end, without starting to wonder already about the next song.

I am still awaiting this super duper simple feature. It's the easiest thing to implement ever. Even my antiquated CD player had this option!

 

Adding silent tracks is really a poor alternative, as it doesn't work in shuffle mode, and it's very laborious for long playlists. 

 

Please make Spotify more listener friendly.
