Gapless Playback Google Cast

pjwired — Tue, 17 May 2022 23:27:57 GMT

Hi,

I cannot get gapless playback to work to my NAD C 338. NAD have told me it's a Google Cast issue.

I have tried, Plex, MusicStreamer, Spotify, DS Audio, nothing I try will do gapless playback over Google Cast?
Gapless playback works for Spotify Connect to my Denon, and from my NAS via Oppo 203 to my Denon

Please provide gapless playback on all google cast implementations.
Thanks

Hi Jennifer,
I was told by NAD that there is nothing they can do as the removal of Spotify Connect (and therefore gapless playback) was a requirement/agreement between Google and Spotify.
I have purchased a Bluesound Node, which does gapless playback just fine. I no longer have any need for Google Chromecast!
Regards,
Phil

Hey pjwired,

Understood and thanks for keeping me in the loop. Since you don't have other questions and concerns, I'll go ahead and lock this thread. Feel free to create a new one should you need help in the future.

Have a good one!

Best,

Jennifer
