Is anyone else having issues with gapless playback on iOS 16.2 (I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, if that's relevant). Every couple of songs in a gapless album, I'll get a moment of silence between tracks that's really annoying when the songs are supposed to flow smoothly into each other.
The issue was in 15.4 and also a few years back, so it's annoying that it keeps coming back.

As the original poster mentioned, this is getting so old. This year the issue popped up in April then it was fixed with an update. Now in December the issue has popped up again. I am getting extremely frustrated with Apple and their developers. Pretty poor development and release cycles where a bug keeps getting introduced again. Poor QA and poor development procedures. Seems like developers cannot merge code correctly if they keep introducing a bug that was supposedly fixed. I'm talking from experience since I'm a senior software engineer with decades of experience. Usually when bugs keep coming back its because the developer had a merge conflict and was lazy and just fixed it with taking their version, while reverting code that was correct. Can Apple start looking at their software release process and stop bringing back old bugs?
Can anyone confirm if gapless playback is working in 16.5? I'm paranoid with every update now.
Yes. I was trying to enjoy Dark Side of the Moon in Dolby Atmos and the gap between songs ruined it. Shameful.
The problem is back in iOS 16.5
I had this same problem
I fixed it by shutting off BLUETOOTH
Right now I installed 16.5.1, for now it’s working fine, hope it continues like that.
Is there a newer up to date thread than this one?
I’m seriously looking at this new Google phone. Anyone know if that has issues with gapless playback?
I have cds transferred digitally and iTunes doesn’t play them properly…having a gap between songs…iTunes morons at their best…USE FOOBAR2000!!!!!!!
This is a problem on macOS too. I wanted to comment that Foobar2000 worked for me too. Thank you to the person who mentioned it!
As an experiment, I set up a free one-month trial of Presto Music. No gap problems at all on any of my devices.
There is gaps on iPad OS 17. Apple support please we need this fix, thank you
Gapless on iPad os 17.0.1 still. Please apple support fix this. This bug it’s bothering for all of us for years. We all be appreciate it. Thank you!
I installed ipad os 17.0.2 and still this gapless between songs. Please apple fix this. Thank you
this is just disgusting behaviour by the tools at apple...it's like they're doing it on purpose...screw you apple
Yes, disabling Dolby Atmos helps. However, a _smart_ software engineer would have the program check for this _before_ the next track starts playing. Don’t tell me it can’t be done.
