Music playback isn't gapless
Gapless playback is intended to provide a seamless listening experience when there is transition between songs. In certain situations, a gap or brief moment of no audio may occur between tracks. Review the information below to determine whether gapless playback is supported for your listening experience.
Gapless playback of music streams and music files is not supported by the SoundTouch app.
If streaming music playback is gapless when using the app of the streaming music service, you may be able to connect a device running that app to your SoundTouch system with one of the following methods:
- A Bluetooth connection can be made between a device running the steaming music app and the Bose system. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth device
- This SoundTouch system is AirPlay compatible. With your Apple device connected to the same network as the system, begin playback in the streaming music app, tap the AirPlay icon (which may be located on different screen) then select the name of your SoundTouch system. For more information, see Using AirPlay with your Bose speaker
- An audio cable can be connected to the AUX input on this SoundTouch system. The AUX input on the system will need to be selected and the volume level on the connected device may need to be increased. For more information, see Connecting other devices to your system
Audio track transitions are not gapless when grouping a Bluetooth device using SimpleSync.
When using SimpleSync to group a Bluetooth speaker or headphones with a Bose app compatible product, you will not experience the seamless transition between tracks on both devices. A future product update is under development to allow for gapless playback when grouping speakers and/or headphones.
