Greetings, Urtling. There's a few ways, I think, and maybe more.
1. When you fade the song that's playing, also queue the next song at that
time: pygame.mixer.music.queue(). No fuss. The next song will start playing
immediately.
2. Tell Pygame to send an event when a song stops playing:
pygame.mixer.music.set_event(). As I recall, you have to use a valid Pygame
event type, such as something between USEREVENT and NUMEVENTS. Because this
passes control to your program, you can employ a programmed delay before the
next song.
3. Your game loop can check if the song is playing and start it up if it's
not: pygame.mixer.music.get_busy(). Likewise, this supports the option of a
programmed delay.
