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 the
second track is introduced at full tilt with pretty much no attenuation
(just enough to allow for the small contribution from the first track).

In the relatively rare case of a track ending suddenly and the next
starting suddenly then the cross fader does a pretty rapid cross fade
that's the same as the current squeezebox crossfade.

If you want an example of what I'm talking about try throwing a bunch
of tracks at Winamp with cross-fading switched on and you'll see what I
mean. It's the only thing I miss, moving from Winamp for my new
squeezebox 3.

So if you tell Winamp to do an 8 second cross-fade, it takes that as a
hint to start thinking about it 8 seconds from the end of the first
track, but the fade sometimes happens much later, and in most cases the
second track isn't faded in at all (at least, not noticeably).

Cheers,

Mark
