I just wanted to add another vote to supporting crossfade via Tivo.
I understand that Tivo is responsible for playing the file. However, Tivo only plays what it is sent. With support for on-the-fly conversion now available, hopefully something could be done to handle mixing track together on-the-fly.
(and I certainly don't expect to see this function anytime soon, just wanted to voice my vote.)
Background: I was investigating MC to see if I should switch from MusicMatch. I haven't had much time to explore yet, but liked what I saw. The big question mark would be my husband. He is the big music consumer in the family. The easy support for Rio 500 was a definite plus (better than MM) and the automatic categorization that works with Tivo HMO was another. Though I wasn't sure if that would be enough to push him into learning a new application. Well, last night he couldn't sleep and this morning he told me "I love Media Center!" He had found it and started using it.
He is the one who really would like the cross-fade to work with Tivo/HMO.
That said, I am hopping over to buy a license before 4/11.
