Details

Creates a stereo crossfade effect.
The old song fades out to the right and the new song fades in from the left.

Makes crossfades more pleasant as songs with non-matching beats are sepereted between left and right instead of being mixed together.

Some recommended settings to hear the stereo crossfade:
Fade-In Delay: 0s
Fade-In Duration: 10s
Fade-Out Delay: 0s
Fade-Out Duration: 10s
Fade-Out Mode: Crossfade

Code is still proof-of-concept as there are no settings for it currently. Crossfade is hardcoded to go from left to right, but can be easily changed in the code.

Thanks for that patch! No problems. On Sansa e250 this worked fine.

Will this work on iPod 80gb? And from where do I download the patch?

Timo Horstschäfer,
Good work.

I was wondering if you could take a look at the way they made this crossfade plugin for Winamp?
http://www.sqrsoft.com.ar/en/acf.html

The crossfading takes place based on not only how much time is left, but also how loud the song is within the fadeout window. This plugin works very well because it takes into account how the song ends and bases the decision of when to crossfade on both the amount of time left as well as the volume of the ending.

Thanks for looking at this.

Allen...

@eboeosuji
It works on every target, that has crossfade at all.

@Allen
Yeah, would be a nice feature, not even related to this task.
But I wouldn't be easy to implement (though I didn't have a look at it).
