This is interesting, someone had the same requirement years ago. When they disabled fade they heard a couple of seconds of the following track. That definitely doesn't happen now so maybe this code has been changed before.

Would my suggestion to add a second to the sleep time be practical? Don't know. I'd have to test this. I could imagine that in some use cases this could lead to new issues. Eg. some plugins trigger actions when a track ends etc. The fact that this seems to be intermittent makes me wonder

And yes, with an MBA I well-understand the principles of 'supply and demand'. But you should also be aware of the 'silent majority'. This is the large portion of the population who don't complain unless something really serious has affected them. For minor niggles they just 'grin and bear it'.

I first reported this (to Logitech) in 2007, shortly after buying two SB3 units (Logitech were selling off the Slim branded ones for a good price!). They agreed it was a bug, but did nothing about it (surprise, surprise!). Would you have a reference to this discussion? Most likely this didn't
