I voted for it, there is not enough eye candy or audio tricks from the Squeezebox, the current strange fade technique isnt high end enough. Obviously its personal preference, but I want the expensive box to woo people, otherwise I would use an ipod plugged into a hifi! Beyond the basics this i

What's wrong with a little bit of silence between tracks? I did a crossfade CDR compilation a few years ago and stopped playing it after the novelty value wore off 'cos it annoyed the hell out of me. I also get cross (being a grumpy old git) when jazz tracks fade out because the producer's laz

Never used the winamp plugin, but sounds like it pretty much does what I'm looking for on my squeezebox : decent song mixes based on the volume level of a track outro. Basically, what I would like is to have the next song start (full volume, no fade in) when the volume of the previous song drops

It could in some cases - with songs that end cold, for example, or in the case of joined tracks - but if applied judiciously (by not overdoing the number of seconds of overlap, say) I think it could sound pretty good most of the time. Fading a song with a cold end sounds pretty weird too. andyg;

I'm an ex-DJ (old-school radio type) and that's exactly the way I used to do it. Maybe "overlap" would be a better description than "crossfade" - it would be nice to have that as an added option. No volume reduction at the beginning of the next track, just an adjustable overlap. vacaboca;90402

Just to say, as the originator of this request, that more than a year on I still miss the crossfade in winamp. I used it again the other day (on holiday, so no squeezebox :-) and it's a completely different animal to the squeezebox's crossfade. Much, much better :-( Mark -- mcw ---

2006-01-05 Thread mcw
Hi - any chance of you doing some work on the crossfade to make it a little more sophisticated? Most tracks start suddenly then end in a slow fade - in those cases a good crossfade doesn't play with the faders much at all - the first track is rapidly faded at (say) 8 seconds from the end whilst t
