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
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.
