Google Play Music now supports gapless playback, on Android 4.1 and above Options

[skamp]

I confirm that Google Play Music (Android's default music player) is now indeed gapless (at least on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1.1, with Ogg Vorbis files):

v4.4.811H
* Added ability to keep Thumbs Up, Last Added, and Free and Purchased playlists on device.
* Auto-generated Instant Mixes on Recent tab based on your favorite songs.
* Gapless playback support (on devices with Android 4.1 or later)
* Improvements for keeping music on your device for offline playback.

Edit: oh, and the associated online service is now available in the UK, Germany and France.

Is that Vorbis files you loaded on the phone directly, or via the cloud? Last I knew, the cloud uploads are all stored as mp3 regardless of what you submit.

That's still the case, see http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/a...;answer=1100462
