Well, synchronization has been a feature since early in the development of the Slimserver software.
Cross-fading is a feature that appeared only first in R6 of the server, corresponding to the SB2 hardware appearing. Most early adopters had SB1s, or mixtures of SB1 and SB2. It isn't possible to cross-fade an SB1, and so if 1s and 2s were synched together, it isn't clear how to do that (or even if it's possible). Initially, cross-fade was turned off if multiple players were synched together. In fact, that's more stringent than is really necessary. If all the machines in a synch group were 2s and 3s, you *could* cross-fade. It would take different logic, because the short pause between songs is used to re-synch all the players, and cross-fading eats that time between songs. There are other possible implementations for cross-fading. But no one's ever written the code to work that out. It doesn't seem to be a priority. If more people vote for it, maybe it will become a priority. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20369 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
