How can you make Plex Amp have a gap between tracks when playing?
For some music it’s not desirable for the faded cross or even to run one track to the next, so being able to play with the gaps as per the original CD is what I’m looking for.

I think if you disable “Sweet Fades” (and possibly “Loudness Leveling,” not sure if that is required) PlexAmp will play the tracks as they are. If you play an album (not a playlist or Radio) the gaps should remain even with “Sweet Fades” turned on, that processing isn’t supposed to kick in for album play.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

OK, so turning off Sweet Fade removed the to my mind horrible mixing at the end of track with the start of the next.
However, it seems that when using PlexAmp it “stitches” the next tract right on the end of the previous with no gap, and I can’t find anything that stops this. Searching finds historical posts of people demanding the gapless play back from the main server, and noting that you do get it with PlexAmp.
If I play an album with the web interface there is a silent period at the end of the track, the progress bar still progressing, then the next track starts. Play the same album on PlexAmp and the silence doesn’t exist. It almost seems like it detects the silence and moves to the next track.
there is no way to add a silent moment artificially between tracks. What you are hearing in the web app is just it being slow loading up the next track I think. Some albums do have intentional silence at the end or beginning of a track though
Plex amp does have caching so when you are doing things like commuting an go into tunnel it does not stop playing because network lost so that is why it has the next track ready but it is not detecting silence to decide to start the next track as far as I am aware
