[Crossfade cuts out the beginning of songs]

@Barada thanks for the requests. This will be definitely added next time crossfade options are touched, and those are planned to be touched soon.

Just out of interest. I'm not sure what kind of timeline you're on, but "touched soon" and we're almost 4 months down the road...any idea when exactly?

Cheers! 🙂

[Crossfade cuts out the beginning of songs]

I've been asking for exactly this since 2012!

For some reason the Poweramp team seem completely oblivious to this request.

I'm not a coder, but is it really so difficult to implement?

[CROSSFADE needs to be redesigned!]

Implementing the analysis of the song by Poweramp is actually unnecessarily overcomplicated and I reckon it would take a lot more time to implement. What I find the most annoying is the Fade-In effect of the next song, I could live with Fade-out of the old one, although even that could be removed.

In Foobar I use SqrSoft crossfader, and I simply set it to start crossfade at -20dB of the old song, and thats it. It works exceptionally well, be it abrupt ending song or naturally gradually fading-out song, if the songs are matching bpm sometimes it is even impossible to spot the song switch.

So the only thing that would be necessary to implement would be the option to remove artificial fade-out/fade-in, and add the option to select the old song dB threshold to start crossfade. Heck even just adding the option to not fade-in the new song would be fine with me, as it is hands down the most annoying thing in Poweramp for me, and frankly the only one. And that should be pretty easy to add I hope.

I think I first requested the "segue/radio" type crossfade a good 10 years ago when i first purchased Poweramp. In fact, so long ago that the post doesn't exist any more! 😏

An option to change "fade in" and "fade out" separately.

A natural fade out with the option to start the next song at full volume.

I too remember the sqrsoft add-on in Winamp and used it always.

This appears to be a popular and recurring request, so I'm surprised the tech team have never seemed to address it in at least 10 years?
