I thought it might be of interest to this forum that Deezer has started to support gapless playback, eliminating the ~1/2-second of silence we have been hearing between tracks.  This feature is critical for many classical albums as well as more contemporary music. (Dark Side of the Moon, please!)  Yes, it's hard to imagine that it took until 2020 for them to implement such a basic necessary feature.

For now it is only available for Premium-tier (FLAC) subscribers, and only on mobile.  But they will eventually roll it out across other platforms.  I hope B&O releases updates to their products to add this support!

Nice....if that is true - and also with the embedded B&O version.

The lack of gappless playback is the reason why I still stick to Spotify (Premium).

For an album lover like me an album has to play as intended and not as a playlist.

Would be nice with some comments from those who use Deezer on the B&O devices.

Hi,

Did a quick test and on mobile it works (even Airplay to Eclipse) but integrated Deezer (on Eclipse) still has the gap.
