Good idea. + ... and the next logical track in the list (ie. not shuffled). The lag I mentioned previously is of course the result of the cross-fade not activating until the next song's data is in the buffer (disk access in my case). So instead I propose another new mode - 'fade out instantly'. This has all the benefits of making the transition smoother, but is more responsive and takes less time to happen altogether. > That's an interesting idea.

Configurable fade curves are definitely worth having, and should of course be reused between all fade features. OK, is 'midk' monitoring this? If not, anybody have a contact email so we can get the suggestions to him? > In other news - I used my iPod for about two hours today total, all > FLAC music.

As I said in my first mail, when I enter a new directory and start to play files, skip crossfading usually (but not always) works for 2 or 3 skips. After that the crossfading usually stops working - skips are 'hard' again. Sometimes it works again a few files later, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't found a reliable pattern. Just tried this again, and it seems a Wavpack-only problem (no doubt caused by the problem I bugged). I was pretty sure I'd seen it on MP3 too occasionally, but now I can't repro. -- glReceived on 2006-03-31 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
