Crossfade on playback

I have set crossfade on and when i playback using itunes on my pc it works fine, but does not work when i playback through my ipod - any ideas?

The crossfade settings don't sync however, the iPod has never supported crossfading and gapless playback was only introduced with iTunes 7 and the 5th Generation iPod and the 2nd Generation Nano. If this is something you'd be interested in seeing in a future version you can leave feedback/feature requests at this link: Apple Product Feedback

Sd card & the palm treo 680

i have the palm treo 680. when i put an sd card into it to listen to music, it reads the card but does not play the music ????(??%$?$#$!. what am i not doing?

If the file is in .WMA then did you get it off your harddrive or directly from a CD. Basically my question is how did you obtain the music that you have now on your Palm?
Also what player or what version of the player do you have on your 680?

IPod playlists & crossfade playback

I have created some great playlists in ITunes using the crossfade playback function.
Does anyone know whether I can:
1) Transfer the playlists to my iPod with the crossfade function intact?
2) If not, any suggestions for how I can burn the playlist to a CD with the crossfade intact.
Any help gratefully received as the playlists are for my wedding in September!
5th gen video Windows XP

I know that you can't use the crossfade feature on the iPod, it's an iTunes only feature.
As to whether you can burn a cd with crossfade, I'm not sure. I know you can set the gap between songs to "none" but I don't think you can use crossfade.

How do I get rid of the quick crossfade in gapless playback?

I've noticed since installing iTunes 8 that there is a very quick crossfade when tracks progress from one to the other with gapless playback. I don't remember this happening before, although maybe i juts didn't notice this?
I do have crossfade disabled in Preferences, and I do have gapless playback enabled for the relevant albums, although it does occasionally appear to uncheck itself for some reason, although remains set to "yes".
(And tangentially, what a weird interface. Why are there checkboxes and then "yes/no" menus? It would seem to me that "yes" mean "checked" and "no" means "unchecked")
Anyone else notice this issue? It's really beginning to irritate me.

You may get improved gapless performance for gapless tracks if you set the option to No, apply the change, then set back to Yes and apply again. This should force iTunes to reanalyze the gapless transition.
Thank you for responding. I wish I could say that that helped, but it there was absolutely no change in the smoothness of the transition from track to track after having done this.
I listen to a lot of classical music where movements progress smoothly with no break in the music. Having a sudden volume fade, no matter how brief, as the track changes to corresponding to a movement change is somewhat jarring.
I suppose I may have to look for another app. Any suggestions?

Crossfade Playback

Hi,
I'm using the XP PRO Itunes version 7.6.0.29. I'm having some problems with the "crossfade Playback" option. It works intermitently. Sometimes it will cross between songs with a slight overlap and no fade. Sometimes it will work with both the cross and the fade out and into the new song. It isn't consistent. Is thier a cure for this problem? If the previous song ends softly as recorded and the next song starts with a loud begining, it doesn't seem to work at all. Of course this is the exact situation where one would desire a crossfade playback. I can fix this in Roxio but that is an extreem fix.

As long as you're working with audio CDs and not iTMS downloads, you can, at the time of importing, use iTunes to Join CD Tracks via the Advanced menu. You can select any contiguous range(s) or songs, or a whole album. You'll get perfect playback without using the crossfader, but you'll not be able to navigate as usual from track to track when you do this.
There unfortunately aren't any players for OS X capable of playing back albums correctly (for the 10-year old Windows 95, yes, but for the newest and best OS X, no), so basically the only remedies are little workarounds like this.

Does the iphone support the "crossfade" playback option?

I'm trying without success to find an option on my iphone that would let me turn on the "crossfade" playback option for my music. I love this feature on my ipod nano and the new Itunes, but I can't seem to find that feature on my iphone's ipod. Is it just not possible to do this on the iphone?

Freezing while assessing gapless playback-crossfade checked

Every time I plug my iPod in to iTunes, it only allows me a minute or two before it starts trying to assess gapless information on my music and then iTunes freezes.
I've checked my preferences > playback and crossfade is checked. I thought this would override gapless as none of my albums are marked as gapless album. Is there any way to solve this? I've already upgraded to 7.0.1.

I have the same exact problem. It doesn't happen every time the iPod is connected though. It seems to only do it about every 3rd or 4th time the iPod is connected and the other times it skips the analysis. I've never gotten it to finish analyzing before it freezes. When this happens, I simply pull the iPod out of the dock. I get the "Device Removal" warning but iTunes thaws out immediately and I can use it again. Any thoughts on how to keep this from happening?
<soapbox>I know some folks have a use for gapless playback, but I don't and would like to have an option to turn it off completely since it doesn't seem to work properly!</soapbox>

What is Crossfade playback?

Hello, i have an ipod nano with itunes 7 and i dont know what the crossfade playback slider does. Does it have to do with my songs not finish, while another song picks up right away?? -Thanks!

Crossfade just blends the ends of songs, like if you set it to 5 sec, it will start the next song 5 sec before the last one stops playing

Crossfade playback on Ipod %th Generation

How can I listen Crossfade playback Music on an iPod of 5th Genaration (80 GB)?
Is it Possible?

nope, crossfade is an iTunes only feature.

Crossfade Playback Causes Skipping

When I have Crossfade Playback enabled I get skipping sound during the first 6 seconds of a song. I never had this problem with iTunes before I installed v7.
Any ideas?

I have experienced the same crossfade playback issue. Songs skip during the first six seconds when the Crossfade Playback option is enabled. This problem began immediately after the installation of iTunes v7.
I have disabled the Crossfade Playback in the Preferences - Playback Window and this has stopped the skipping, however, the CPU usage still peaks at 100% during the transition between songs. Hence, this is not a real solution and a bug still remains in the new iTunes v7.

Crossfade Playback & Unchecked Songs

The crossfade playback functionality works quite well and does what it is supposed to do except when the playlist contains both checked and unchecked songs. There's no crossfade at all when an unchecked song is encountered before moving on to the next checked song (I hope it's more or less clear what I mean).
Is there any way to get around this?
iMac G4 Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Rather than checking and unchecking tracks as your primary method of controlling what goes on the iPod, instead check your entire library then use playlists and smart playlists to group your stuff and you can then set up the iPod to ONLY sync playlists you pick.
For example, you might make a Smart Playlist limited to xx number of songs or xx gigs or whatever you want and the playlist is the stuff "Least Recently Played". Check live updating so this list is constantly updated. Now pick this as the playlist synced to your iPod. Each time you listen to stuff in iTunes or the iPod those items become the MOST recently played and will fall out of that list and be replaced with something new. Each time you sync your iPod, that list will refresh and you will get a constantly changing selection of stuff.
Of just create a normal (not Smart) playlist, pick that one to sync to your iPod and just manually add and delete stuff from it, keeping it under whatever space you have on the iPod. This gives you what you have now, but you can leave everything in your library checked.

Crossfade Playback on iPod/nanoPod?

Is Crossfade Playback on iPod/Nano possible?
If not, why?

Yes, Yes, a thousand times yes...sort of...
Ok here was my problem. I agreed to "DJ" my mother-in-law's 70th Bday celebration. I set up my playlist in itunes and thought my ipod could crossfade. OOPS..it can't (at least not yet).
Not being one not to accept the limitations of technology (we must not let computers or their makers limit our creativity), and being cheap and not willing to buy additional hardware or software, I set upon a journey to solve this pressing global issue.
Here's a pretty lengthy but effective way to simulate the Crossfade effect on a playlist (hint: it helps if you know a little about imovie):
1) Create your playlist in itunes
2) Open imovie and import the tracks
3) Alternate the tracks between the 2 available audio tracks
4) Edit each track fade in and out as necessary by overlapping individual tracks and if necessary usiing the volume adjustment faders in imovie. It takes a little practice but you'll be mixin' like a pro in no time.
5) Export to quicktime. Imovie requires video to export, so instead of video I added a 1 second picture from my iphoto library.
6) I downloaded freeware from versiontracker called "Extract Movie Soundtrack" and ran the program to remove the video from my quicktime file and created a aiff.
7) Import the aiff file into itunes and TAA DAA..you have a playlist with the crossfade you have created and always wanted.
I do hope that Apple includes crossfade in a future update of ipod software.
Goodluck and happy ipodding.
Mike

Crossfade playback doesn't work in nano

I've created a playlist with crossfade between each song. When I play it back on my laptop it works fine, but not on my nano.
Any ideas? Is there a setting I need to change?

does anyone know if apple plans to put the crossfade feature into ipods? this feature is sorely missed!

Crossfade settings for playback with 2nd Generation Nano

I made a playlist for a special event and I arranged the songs very carefully to sound well when fading from one to the next. I loaded them onto my nano and started up the playlist only to discover that they don't crossfade. Can this be changed?

Unfortunately crossfade is an iTunes only feature.
If you would like to suggest to Apple that they should include this in any future iPod releases, use this link.

What is Crossfade Playback&Sound Enhancer &should equalizer be on or off?

What exactly do both of these do? I still have mine I think on the default settings though I have turned off the Crosfade playback a few times while importing cds.Also seen the equalizer on iTunes is on with it on flat and wondering if should turn it off on iTunes because I keep the equalizer off my Ipod most off the time .Thank-You

Crossfade Playback overlaps the currently playing track with the next track. The time setting indicates how long an overlap you get at the end of the currently playing track. It basically fades the currently playing track out, and fades the next track in. This setting has no effect on importing CDs.
Sound Enhancer makes changes to the sound during playback to make the sound 'better' for small or low powered speakers that you get with computers or laptops.
The equalizer on iTunes also affects playback in iTunes only, not your iPod. Your iPod equalizer applies to all tunes played back on your iPod only. But if you have assigned a specific Equalizer Preset to a song in iTunes, your iPod will play according to that setting if your iPod Equalizer is set to Off.
