Couple of points: (a) The gap doesn't precede the next track, it's at the end of the current one. (b) If you have gapless tracks you shouldn't be crossfading at all, you should be playing them straight through. Crossfading is simply a hack to try and make non-gapless tracks sound gapless. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19735 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
