Playback Controls

Gapless

Players are always gapless, and Projects are never gapless.

Lossless

There are 3 different lossless configurations. In your audio preferences, you can set the default audio quality for the specific device you are listening on. This does not change the default audio quality for any other device.

In your Player Options, you can set the default audio quality for your player if you're on our Pro tier. This applies the default audio quality to anyone listening to your player, regardless of the default audio quality set for their device.

In the player itself, anyone can change the audio quality, regardless of what is set as the default for the player or the device, by clicking the Audio Options button and updating the audio settings. This only updates the settings for that specific device and player.

Lossless Exceptions

In some scenarios, lossless playback is not an option, either because it is not supported in the browser or the source files themselves are lossy. Most of the time, if lossless audio quality cannot be enabled, it is because one of the following file types exists in the player which are lossy:

  • .mp4
  • .m4a
  • .mp3
  • .aac

Additionally, the below browsers do not support lossless audio quality:

  • iOS Chrome
  • iOS Instagram in-app browser
  • iOS Safari major version 13 or below
