gapless audio playback in player is needed

I can confirm QuasarMX Player works great - gapless playback is the most important feature that makes me prefer it to the standard player.

QuasarMX is rather buggy and sluggish so it isn't an optimal replacement though.

@sillycrimes Nobody's perfect ;-) Well, hadn't seen that many bugs there. Can you tell what problems do you have with Quasar? What I personally dislike most in current version is not bugs, but some inconsistency in UI — mostly from MeeGo and just somewhere in settings from Sailfish. Two other problems IMO are portrait-only mode (though on my old N9 landscape works well) and unsupported multidisk albums (it plays song in 1-1-2-2-3-3 order instead of 1-2-3-1-2-3). The latter can be worked around by creating a playlist. Can't say anything more negative about it.

This might be a bit OT but QuasarMX is a bit quirky when it comes to sorting artists when the first letter is non-capital (http://i.imgur.com/woXN7ZY.png) and when sorting by location (this is the only way to get multiple disc albums sorted correctly because it cannot read disc tags) it sorts different depending on the view (http://i.imgur.com/6t3tiYA.png). It's also annoying that playback doesn't pause automatically when you receive a call or message. And that you cannot queue songs. Maybe not all of these were bugs but they're certainly annoying to me.

@sillycrimes Thanx! First two of it are really bugs. And I would agree with you on the third one. Multiple disc albums can be sorted with playlists, the same you can use to queue songs. Anyway, imo QuasarMX is still way better then native Jolla media player.

Great to hear! The limitation to files of the same type shouldn't be a problem, since gapless playback mostly is important when playing an album with tracks recorded without a pause in between. Then you probably have all tracks encoded using the same format.
