the track, moving to the next track in the playlist without user intervention. A man-
ual track skip goes to the next track immediately when the appropriate button is pressed.
Options for crossfade settings are:
Enable Crossfade.
If set to
Off
, crossfade is disabled and all track changes are gapless.
If set to
Automatic Track Change Only
, crossfade occurs for automatic track
changes, but not for manual track skips. The next setting,
Manual Track Skip
Only
, is the opposite: tracks will only crossfade when manually skipped. If set to
Shuffle
, crossfade is enabled for all track changes, automatic or manual, when
the shuffle feature is set to
Yes
, but disabled otherwise. If set to
Shuffle or
Manual Track Skip
then crossfade will be active either when shuffle is set to
Yes
or the track is manually skipped. If set to
Always
, tracks will always crossfade
into one another.
Fade In Delay.
The “fade in delay” is the length of time between when the crossfade
process begins and when the new track begins to fade in.
Fade In Duration.
The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade in
once the
Fade In Delay
has ended.
Fade Out Delay.
The “fade out delay” is the length of time between when the crossfade
process begins and when the old track begins to fade out.
Fade Out Duration.
The length of time, in seconds, that it takes your music to fade
out once the
Fade Out Delay
has ended.
Fade Out Mode.
If set to
Crossfade
, one song will fade out and the next song will
simultaneously fade in. If set to
Mix
, the ending song will not fade out at all, and
will continue to play as normal until its end with the starting song fading in from
under it.
Mix
mode is not used for manual track skips, even if it is selected here.
Note:
The rules above apply except in the instance where
Fade Out Delay
plus
Fade
b
Out Duration
is less then
Fade In Delay
(which would create a gap in the audio).
In this case, the
Fade In Delay
is reduced to eliminate the gap.
The graphic below illustrates how the different settings work in practice.
