I suggest you ...

Pre-buffer the upcoming song

When listening to a live album the 'flow' is choppy when it has to pause and buffer the next song. It would be nice if it prebuffered at least a bit of the next song to help it start immediately. Would also be nice for nonlive stuff, I think it would help the overall flow of MOG.

        OMG, I can't believe this isn't already done. Try listening to studio albums by Pink Floyd (most of them) and it's horrible! Please do this!

        Recently moving from Spotify to MOG - I notice the gap between songs.
        Firstly I thought it was my system - but looks like others complain about it too.
        Maybe I will move back to Spotify

        Definitely need gapless playback and crossfade support on the android app.

        There was an article in Forbes applauding Mog for offering gapless playback as a huge improvement over other streaming services, but I decide to check it out and....no gapless - was someone lying? Was gapless playback implemented at one itime on Mog but later disabled (if so why? To mollify some whiny recording industry people). PLEASE GIVE US GAPLESS ALBUM PLAYBACK!!!!

        Completely agree 100%. I feel that this is one of the biggest drawbacks to MOG, but other than that I absolutely love MOG and how there is such a variety of music.

        Yes this is desperately needed. I listen to a lot of concept and progressive albums and it kills the vibe. It completely ruins some classical albums where the various movements are just a few minutes. Stravinksky's a soldier's tale is completely unlistenable because the movements are just a few minutes long each.

        Listening to operas and other classical music without gapless playback is annoying. MOG needs it now!

      • AndyAndy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I completely agree that this is needed. For example listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd it is essential that there are not pauses between tracks.

        I almost love MOG. Am listening today with lots of choppy delays, and isn't much fun........otherwise love you MOG.....

      • Mike McCordMike McCord commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Yes! From what I have seen MOG is one of the slowest to cue a song, and to play the next. When compared to products such as Spotify, the difference is huge - playback is nearly instant. I think MOG can do better.

        I noticed that the delay between tracks - and indeed, the response delay to say removing a track from the Queue - is shortened considerably by restarting the app. Conversely, the delay gets longer with the length of time the app is open and playing (I'm referring to the Mac OS X version here.)

        I'd like to see this improvement apply to the Radio feature as well, which also suffers from excessively long delays between tracks.

        Agee! Would be much better for parties to have a feature that could be toggled on an off!

      • JJ commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I was braggin about Mog at a after party and people loved that i can play almost any track they loved at great quality, but def. killed the vibe with the delays.

        PLEASE CHANGE to flow naturally!

        The delay between tracks is really annoying , especially in classical music symphonies, where there is a new track ever minute or so . . no delay on the CD but 40 second delays on Mag. It really interrupts the symphony.

        This would beneficial for those with less than perfect ISP performance.

        Pauses are a killer for live albums and "concept" albums that often flow from one song directly into the other.
