Gapless on Qobuz using SqueezeLite

[theadmans]

I have a Raspberry Pi with Wolfson Audio Card which runs SqueezeLite (mimicking a Squeezebox Touch).

I have the Qobuz plug-in installed on LMS.

I was under the impression that Qobuz is gapless.

But when I listen to the new Zappa Live Erie 24-96 boxset on Qobuz via my Pi - it isn't gapless?

Gapless on LMS is not called gapless but cross face and you have set the speed of the face . So you need to access the settings and player and the Audio and you can set it first by enabling cross face and then how quick it is . If this does not apply to Squeezelite then sorry as I have only used it with ONE and not on its own .

Qubuz Setting at FLAC Hi-Res 24 bits / >96kHz

I have replayed the first one to track 5 (skipping each track until about a minute before the end) all played gapless

I think an ethernet connection would be better as each skip forward results in distortion and interruption to the music for a few seconds and it then settles down.

Edit crossfade is set at 10 secs (I can't remember if that is default)

Edit 2 reset crossfade to zero

First six tracks all played gapless. I watched each track in the GUI; all changed fro 0.00 to 0.01 and the started the next track before switching in the GUI

It's gapless

Andrew, gapless is default on LMS on all codecs, if the file is ripped as gapless or streamed as gapless then it should play back as gapless.

Hope you are all well and keeping safe, have you broken anything lately ?
