Crossfade support

I absolutely agree, please add crossfading.

The newer versions of Rhythmbox (at least 0.11.2) also have crossfading.
Maybe the devs could use some of the code.

Yes. Please STEAL it fast. No matter what it takes.

Oh yes!
"Like" that fadeout and crossfade feature in Amarok.

I think that is very interesting. I'll be waiting for the feature release.

See ya. o/

Really, please !

I was amazed to discover that the new Rythmbox supports Crossfading meanwhile Exaile doesn't...
It's really anoying to listen to a concept album and to have a Blank between each song...

Steal the rythmebox's code, it would be really great :)

Rhythmbox is written in C, while Exaile is written in Python, so it's not really possible to just copy their code. All you could really take is the basic idea (opening streams to two files at once, etc.) and apply it in python.

[1] is the Rb patch that enabled crossfade/gapless support. It's by no means trivial; I'd rather see this somehow implemented in GStreamer itself.

Is there any progress on this? the lack of crossfade support is the only reason I haven't switched to Banshee... please add this quickly!

Doing crossfade in gstreamer is non-trival. Idk about banshee, but I've done some initial design work on it for Exaile and while it's definitely doable it involves a significant redesign of the player code, largely because you can't use playbin to do crossfading. Given that for most users this is a fairly minor issue (less so than gapless at least, which is doable with playbin2), I wouldn't expect crossfading in Exaile before 0.3.1 at the earliest.

Please do not add songbird to bug reports. It is not in the repos nor will it be for a while, it has a while to go before it is added to repos. Last i heard there were some problems with it that will prevent us from adding it and expecting it to work.

I agree, please add crossfading.

I'd consider switching to Banshee if it had crossfading... it may not seem like a big deal, but it does make a difference.

Cross fading ! cross fading !

This is the one feature I miss very much after moving from Rhythmbox, so here's another request for crossfading in Banshee!

Chipping in support. Crossfading is sophisticated listening.

Crossfading would really make Banshee a full fledged bad ass audio player. Just my 2 cents. :]

Ditto, any news or has no one gotton round to code it yet?

Please add crossfade support....

Crossfading...please!!!!!!

Crossfading is becoming a standard feature, even in online web players.

Please add this feature!

I run a radio station and would happily use Banshee if it had the crossfading. Right now I'm using Winamp.

Add crossfade support! =D please! =) it's the only reason because I still using Rhythmbox =P

This is why I often use Rhythmbox. Please add it to Banshee!
