Part 1. Does Amazon Music Have Gapless Playback

"Why is Amazon Music gapless playback not working?" "Why can't I find gapless playback on Amazon Music?" Such questions are on Reddit and Amazon forums.

If you use Spotify, you can easily find a gapless playback option in its settings. Gapless playback allows songs to transition seamlessly from one to the next without any silence or pause between tracks. This feature is especially crucial for albums where tracks are meant to flow continuously, like concept albums. By eliminating gaps, gapless playback preserves the intended listening experience and enhances overall enjoyment.

Well. Amazon Music doesn't have this function now even though some users say you can do it on Android. This 'gapless playback' doesn't like 'autoplay'. Autoplay means you can continue to play similar songs when your music ends. That is to say, your playback will never end.
