When you listen to a live DJ, one song doesn’t stop playing and then another start after a brief pause. Instead, the tracks transition into each one another. One popular technique for doing so is called “crossfading”. The two tracks overlap for a few seconds, the volume going down for the first track as it comes up for the second.
By default, Spotify doesn’t add any crossfade. Lots of artists add seamless transitions to their albums and adding a crossfade over the top sounds weird. But in playlists, one song stops playing before the next starts. DJs call the resulting silence “dead air”.
While you won’t necessarily want crossfade turned on…
