As always: Different people, different needs... This is exactly the option I was missing. I like the effect of crossfading very much and normally would always use it. I rarely listen to albums in original order. But...: When skipping through playlists the delay before the next track starts in crossfade mode is so anoying long, that I often disable crossfade. Most possibly I would use the "Auto Track Skip" option all the time. But... > Speaking of manual skips, I noticed that crossfaded manual skips are > handled precisely the same way as track-end crossfades.

This opens up another possibility: If you eliminate the unneccessary delay, maybe I would use the "Always" option again. No need to predict this deeper now, however. But you see: You solved one ugly behaviour in two possible ways. Yeah, and they can be combined, too. Thanks. cu John
