Albums to be played back as recorded w/o gaps inserted Nothing ruins the mood like having the music interrupted by an abrupt stop (which triggers an audible relay in my receiver no less) followed by a 1 or 2 second silence and an abrupt resumption of the music. Many classical and progressive rock albums are recorded without gaps between movements or songs. I would like to be able to play these pieces as they were recorded on the CD when playing them from a hard drive. ---

I don't understand why this isn't supported. I really want to use Plex for more of my music but much of my content gets screwed up by gaps inserted between tracks.  ---

Gapless playback means so much to me that I will +2 it! Come on dudes, you can't seriously listen to a Pink Floyd album with the gaps!  :rolleyes: ---

I have a lot of electronic compilations that are supposed to play gapless so plex is unusable for me as a music solution at present.  Hope this is possible devs :) ---

It seams to me like gapless playback works perfectly on PHT (Windows) but it doesn't on Android devices. Anyone else the same? Eventually it would be better to specify better the request. ---

I'm coming to this thread in disbelief that this isn't already implemented.  I figured I HAD to be doing something incorrectly somewhere. This is an absolute MUST for any live recording not to mention classical, progressive rock, and many other styles.  I have thousands of hours of live recordings and have made Plex the centerpiece of my AV system.  Can we PLEASE get this addressed????  This is huge for me. EDIT: Gapless playback has been solved in many other players since the late 90's so this isn't a one-off, odd request.  It's been solved many times over so I have to imagine this is a fairly straight forward process. ---

YES, I'd really love to have gapless playback... I'm using Plex as much for music as I do for video, so it's a must have for me. ---

OK so yes you get gapless playback in PHT only. No gapless playback in Media Server. ---

What's PHT? I'm running the server on Linux and have Android apps and there is no gapless playback. This should be marked as a bug and not a feature request since Plex is not playing the music correctly. This thread started in December 2012 and yet apparently nothing has been done; is there a reason why this bug hasn't been fixed? Would anyone from Plex like to comment? ---
