I
know I set this up correctly once eons ago--like for the initial version of 9.0 beta--but I cannot get MC to instantly seek anymore regardless of the settings I use.
Desire: During playback, have MC instantly start playing the next track while instantly abandoning the current track.
Results: No matter what settings I use, I cannot seem to turn off the fade-out effect.
In the playback options, under the "Alternate" tab (so the settings only take effect if I hold down the ALT key), no matter what settings I use, I can't get MC to instantly stop playing the current track and start playing the next track (whether I use the "next" button or just double-click on the track).
I'm using the Wave Out device, and yes, the buffer is set to the default 0.5 s, but
3.5 to 4 seconds of the current track still continues to play before the new track fully kicks in. (In other words, the 0.5 seconds does not account for the 4 second fade-out.)
Any ideas? Is this not possible anymore?
