Wishlist - auto switch between gapless and crossfade
NoCodeUK:
I'm all for the auto switch idea and have always wanted MC to have a few more DJ features. Would BPM matching be out of the question?

If the next track is from another album OR the track # is not consecutive, then crossfade (ie you have made your own mix, either by shuffling, building a playlist, etc).

I like the idea..tho in practice, will it be efffective ?
I have never bothered with crossfade much as many times the effect is not that great. Many times depending on the track you will want to crossfade to different parts of the 2ndtrack and not necessarily always at the beginning.
Usually i leave it at gapless always and only throw in unmixed tracks, the usual 1-2s gaps between tracks seem more natural that way.

I use a lot of automatically generated Smartlists, and so a cross-fade makes things seem more fluid.
But I understand your point - especially about fading into a specific part of the 2nd track.
It would be interesting if you could store a separate "in" point (or several) in the library. I think others have asked for it, what they call A-B points or playback.
Zoomplayer has a system of "cut lists" where you store a definition file alongside a video file, that contains the points where you want to "cut" some of the video, ie commercials or non-child friendly segments. Perhaps a variation on that system would work.
