I was actually going to post on this topic today... the only thing I miss from my pre-SlimServer days is my crossfading. I've used a crossfade plugin for Winamp for several years that basically allows me to do more of an 'overlap' than any actual fading. I listen almost exclusively to random mixes, and prefer there to be little to no silence, with ideally some overlap at the end of one song. My basic desired requirement is the ability to have the next song start immediately once the previous song has dropped below a configurable dB level for the last time. This generally is pretty great for parties and the like, and generally isn't too bad for continuous albums,too, since the immediate fall-off of one track usually results in an essentially seamless transition.
This does require a fair amount of buffering and analysis - I'm not familiar with the buffering setup between SlimServer and the Squeezebox, so someone will have to fill me in on how possible this might be. I can imagine it either being done on the server side (sending a continuous stream, but therefore all at the same bitrate), or done better on the squeezebox itself. Thoughts/suggestions/"you're-crazy"s?
