Cross Fade Playback

I dont seem to be able to get this to work on my Nano. I have the correct software. When I click the check box on the Itunes software, it simply does not fade the songs in and out. Any ideas? Does the Nano support this feature?
Many thanks.

If you'd like to send feedback to Apple to ask that they include crossfaded playback as a feature in future revisions of the iPod firmware, you can do so on this feedback page.

Can you install a cross fade playback on your ipod?

I would like to play my songs in a cross fade playback mode om my ipod?
Is that possible?
If not, wouldn't it be a nice feature to have in the future.

No it's an iTunes only feature.

ITunes 7 Skipping Issue Fixed - Cross Fade Playback

Per the prior post by chiefhabeb, if your DMA settings are correct and your still experiencing skipping, do what mponzi suggested, completely disable the "Cross Fade Playback" feature in iTunes. (iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Playback) After updating my audio driver, making sure my DMA settings were correct, turning off iTune's "Sound Enhancer" feature and updating DirectX, I still had minimal but unacceptable skipping which was driving me crazy. Finally per mponzi's suggestion, disabling the "Cross Fade Playback" feature is what worked for me! SKIP FREE MUSIC THIS MORNING....FINALLY!!!!!!! Hope it works for everyone having the same annoying issue!

Per my earlier post - this really fixed the stuttering/skipping problem for me. Not one song has skipped all morning since disabling the cross fade playback. (Now if my videos would only playback like they used to.....have made several adjustments per troubleshooting iTunes Video playback and they are still stuttering and out of sync. Burned up enough time on iTunes issues. Will save the video playback problem for another day.

Cross fade playback on the new ipod touch?

Anyone know if the ipod 4g has cross fade playback?

Hello Lagoonerdude,
According to several users and after a search through the new *User Guide, no it does not.

Re: Cross-fade playback not working

- 0.9.7.16.g4b197456
- No local files (Just streaming Pink Floyd's The Wall)
- Yes
- Pink Floyd – Empty Spaces - 2011 - Remaster and Pink Floyd – Young Lust - 2011 - Remaster

-- Version of Spotify you're using
Version 0.9.8.150.g59287e0c
-- Whether the tracks are local files
No
-- If you are having issues with gapless or crossfade, and your settings for both
Both,
Gapless playback ticked in
Crossfade tracks ticked in and set at 6 seconds
-- The Spotify URIs of two tracks you've experienced this with (to find the URIs, right-click the tracks)
All tracks for me but for the sake of report I just listened to September – La La La (Never Give It Up) - Radio Version and went to Maddie Wilson – Just a Boy and no crossfade or gapless playback.
The reported workaround does not work for me.
A "workaround" that works for me is disabling and re-enabling Gapless playback & Crossfade tracks maybe 10 times, note that Gapless playback & Crossfade tracks will stop working again after restarting Spotify (it's possible it might stop working after a while without a restart too, haven't really checked that)
As you might have noticed I'm using 0.9.8 however something that is worth noting is that I did not recieve this update through Spotify, I got it from another person (files signed by Spotify so I trust it) and I extracted the contents to \%appdata%\Roaming\Spotify\
Another thing worth noting is that the reason I did the "forced update" was because of this issue, so I had this same issue in 0.9.7 too, tried a clean re-install but that changed nothing.
(I also noticed that I can't change the settings in 0.9.8, they simply don't stick.. I don't know why, but that prohibits me from trying different configurations. I was going to try if "Enable hardware acceleration" affected the crossfade issue but now I can't, anyone that knows which file the "Enable hardware acceleration" option is stored in? Can't find it in perfs file)
This issue is extremely annoying for someone like me (read: someone who is easily annoyed by things that don't work and I can't seem to fix myself (read: I want to take a knife and stab my ears everytime a track changes...)) Is it possible to revert to like 0.9.6 or something like that without having Spotify auto-updating? I can't find any options for auto-updating?
Edit: Found a download for 0.9.6.81 will try that and report back the results.
Edit 2: Installed Spotify 0.9.6.81 and set up my preferences, deleted the update files that spotify made (also blocked spotify.exe and spotifyhelper.exe from creating those files again through my security suit) and the results are: Gapless playback & Crossfade tracks is working, even after restart, will monitor this thread to see when Spotify fixes this so that I know when I can update again.

Shuffle with cross-fade on 3rd Gen Shuffle - does anyone know?

Hi everyone!
One of the features I use at home with iTunes a lot is the cross-fade playback option. I noticed that the new Nano offers this capability, too.
Does anyone know if it's an option on the new shuffle, or if it cross-fades between tracks by default?
Thanks!

Well, I've found out the answer to my own question!
In case anyone was wondering: no, it doesn't do crossfades between tracks, but it does support gapless playback, so if that's how your tracks are set up, you will get a very continuous sounding playback between tracks anyway.
There we have it!

Gapless playback or cross fade: Hobson's choice!

My mini dies, so I got a nano... find so far, until I discover iTunes calculating gapless playback information.
What's it going to take Apple to fix this? How hard is it to offer one or the other?
I should not have to choose between cross fade or gapless, I should be able to choose neither!
If I have cross fade, the audio books with no silences at the beginning and end of each file have the words faded together.
If I have gapless, the stupid software picks the wrong silence and I end up jumping over audio. If there is too long a silence in a pause in an mp3, it seems to be marked as the end of the track and I am jumped to the next one.
Come on Apple! If you don't fix this, I'll have to give GtkPod a try.
Jim
mutt Windows XP Pro ...and Linux! Centos, Fedora, RH, you name it.

Opinions of users do affect my decisions, but I really am very careful about how I make those decisions. I may sound like a mad reactionary twit and I probably was until I found GtkPod, but that's not all I am.
I'm really close to getting a Mac in my life now that their Mach/BSD hybrid is the base instead of Finder and the toolbox ROM. Linux is mostly taking care of the heavy lifting for me, but I need a consumer OS sometimes. I just can't run Vista, so that leaves MacOS X for a consumer OS for me, and it's not a bad choice.
Where did you find a link to http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html? I spent a long time trying to find some way to communicate with them and that's a reason for my low opinion at the moment. I'll be chargrined if I just missed it.
You really have properly chastised me, and I deserved quite a bit of it, but... I do have to take issue with your last point.
The idea that an audiobook can't be an MP3 because an MP3 files are music is not true. I guess iTunes/iPod sees it that way, but that is changing. They have added "remember my position" to MP3 files and made it easy to set on a multi-selection, too.
I think you will find MP3 audio books are very common everywhere but at Audible. Isis Publishing from the UK (Pratchett) and Blackstone Audio Books (Heinlein, Bujold) both use MP3 for there audio books. 32K or 64K Bps and mono or stereo make for very small audio books that play anywhere.
DRM is broken by design, so I've just avoided Audible and iTunes and looked elsewhere. The iPods are the best audio players out there, though, so I am happy to use them. Until they get all gapless on me
Thanks for the link.

CROSS FADE: HOW DO I CROSS FADE?

What's the best way to fade smoothly from one track to another track when I'm multitracking?
In the past I've called this a cross fade.
jp

Crossfade is an iTunes only feature and not transferable to the iPod.
iPod 5th gens are capable of gapless playback though it's not what you want.

Cross-fade tracks?

Anyone know if iPod mini can cross-fade tracks in playback?

Crossfade is an iTunes only feature.
This question is one that crops up a lot on these forums and has been a major source of complaint for as long as the iPod has been in existence.
Currently the only way to eliminate the gap between songs is to import the cd as one track. You do this by using the join cd tracks option in the advanced menu of iTunes.
Make sure the tracks are in their correct order, and highlight those you wish to join.
No gaps, but the downside is that you will of course lose the ability to navigate between tracks, and the song info is also lost. The iPod will display the cd title in the song field in the now playing screen . Youll also have one large file instead of a number of smaller ones.
If you would like to see gapless playback implemented to the iPod, add your voice to the many here.

Cross fades not working in flex mode.

Hey there,
i have an audio region in Logic Pro X (latest update) that's using the flex pitch mode. When I want to cross fade it with another region, it just doesn't work. Seems to be a bug or am I wrong?
Greetings,
R. Philipp

Me too. Does the fade tool move your region las if you just had the cursor selected?
Looks like there are quite a few threads on this topic to check out.

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim files ?

How can I set up cross fade to automatically trim the two files to size when fading between them? Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. What I meant was that in Pro Tools, you can highlight an area between two tracks and crossfade. Then the files are exactly trimmed automatically so there is no excess overlap of the edges of both files. In Logic it seems to leave the overlap, and this can be a problem when you accidently click the wrong place and the underlying file is bought to the front, changing the crossfade area. I wish it to trim the excess so there is no danger of the lower file edges coming forward.

Cross fade in a folio (CS6)

My company is 2 years behind the DPS curve (and by extension, so am I) so I apologize if this seems like a dumb question.
I'm building a folio in CS6 and would like to create a cross fade from one article to another.
I have a 4-second intro video
I want it to run automatically when the folio is opened
When it finishes I want it to cross fade into the cover of the folio
Is there a way to do this?
It doesn't have to be separate articles, it could be MSO's if that's a better way, as long as it doesn't reload the video when someone goes back to the cover.
I just haven't found a description on how I can cross fade from an entire (1024 x 768) layout to another.
Any help would be appreciated (even a "hey dummy, it's over <here>").

Moved to DPS forum.
There is no way to do this without having the video play again when the cover is reloaded.

Can't Drag & Drop Cross Fade Transition ?

I'm a new user and can't figure out why when I attempt to drag and drop a cross-fade transition into my timeline it won't stick or apply. Can anybody help with this. Also, is there a setting that would automatically apply the cross-fade transition to all clip joining points in the timeline ?

http://www.fcpbook.com/Effects1.html

The second techniques assumes there are handles available to create the transition overlap.

How can I get cross fade/dissolve of both audio and video?

I want to centre the coss fade/dissolve transition on the clip boundary. I can do this with the video cross dissolve but not the audio cross fade - for the audio, the Alignment facility in the Edit transition is greyed out and the transition can only be located to the left or right of the clip boundary. It seems an obvious requirement and surprising that audio cross fade is not, optionally at least, an integral part of the video cross dissolve (as it is in Corel VideoStudio).

Steve - thanks for the reply.
Yes I am working in Timeline mode and have done what you suggest - i.e., drag in the video transition followed by the audio transition. However, despite my original update to the question, I now cannot centre the audio transition on the clip boundary - it worked once as reported but not since.
Basically when I drag the audio cross fade transition on to the timeline, it will only let me drop it to the left or right of the clip boundary. I then hightlight the transition and click on the edit transition button. The properties are displayed and I can alter the length of the transition but the wording in the alignment row of the properties is greyed out with the setting being "End at cut". The down arrow head to give the drop down with the other settings is grey and inactive.
I don't understand how I made it work once!
Any ideas?
Frank
