Crossfade overlaps the end of one track with the start of the next instead of dropping to silence between them, which is what makes a playlist feel like a set rather than a list of files.
Fade length and curve are configurable, so you can use a short 2-second blend for albums or a long DJ-style overlap for electronic music.
What it does
- Configurable fade duration between consecutive tracks
- Removes the silent gap that breaks the mood in a playlist
- Works across the whole queue, including autoplay radio
How to enable Crossfade
Frequently asked questions
Why is it marked beta?
Crossfading requires preloading the next track, which occasionally conflicts with other plugins or with slow connections. It works well in the common case.
What fade length should I use?
Two to four seconds suits most music. Longer fades sound good on ambient and electronic sets but can cut off the ending of songs with a hard stop.
Crossfade ships with the app
Free, open source, and one toggle away — along with 42 other plugins.
