Some time ago, vocaboca suggested a more pleasing crossfade would be one that would start the next track at full volume at some point during the previous track's fade out.
I agree 100% that this is the way to go. Myself, I turned crossfading off because I can't stand the effect of songs fading in. The one instance, however, when fading in would be appropriate is with live albums and the like where the music continues across tracks. I racked my brain with this one, trying to come up with a way that these exceptions could be handled intelligently by SlimServer without having to resort to some sort of additional track tagging. Then it occurred to me that tracks on albums like I described above are probably gapless. Perhaps SlimServer could check for a gap preseeding the track about to be played. If a gap is found, start song at full volume. If no gap is found, fade in. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19735 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
