+1 !

Another user (Jonas Böttcher) ask: The user requests crossfade to work: - when clicking on play - when clicking pause - when switching from one title to another manually - when Jajuk switches from one title to another (playlist) - when clicking stop

Evaluation: - When clicking on play : don't see what you mean, cross fade is only between two tracks - When Clicking on pause: why not... - When switching manually (see first request) : why not... - When switching from a title to another: it's what jajuk already does, please open a bug if it is not the case - When stopping: Not sure it's good idea, what do you others think ?

Seems to be something popular, I convert this to a low priority task to be checked in 1.5, not sure if it will be implemented then

I think "when clicking on play" is meant like this:

Music doesn't start with full volume at once, but there's a smooth crossfade from 0 volume to the volume the song should be played.

When starting a new song, this will not have much effect, because most songs start smoothly. But when you press "pause" in the middle of a loud song, and then press play again, a smooth start with 3-5 seconds of crossfade could be nice, I guess.

Maybe we could distinguish between starting a song from the beginning or starting it somewhere else.

If "pause" does a crossfade to zero volume, also "stop" should behave like this (my opinion ;) ).

Now the right word came to my mind: "fade in" (start) and "fade out" (stop) ... crossfade is something else, you're right Bertrand.
