Feature Request - cross-fade options

I would like to have options to configure how the cross-fade works. Ideally, there would be two settings for this. How many seconds from the end of the song to start the cross-fade and the length of time in seconds the cross-fade should take. For example, start the cross fade 20 seconds before the song ends and cross-fade for 9 seconds.

    I think the current default is too long and would like to shorten it, but just by a little bit.

    Yeah, me too. I'd also like to mark some tracks such that they do not take part of cross feed. For example "Knives" by Therapy? has an intro which completely loses it's impact if it is merged with another track. Such songs should start after the previous song has faded out.

    There's an ID3 tag for this (ETCO) which allows the specification of intro and outro lengths. Crossfade should be applied for the shorter of the player's default crossfade time and the intro or outro time specified in the tag. If the intro/outro time is zero, then no crossfade should be applied at all.

    I'd like to see an ability to set the Crossfade as a default setting. I always want Crossfade on but every time I change to different stations it defaults back to off. Surely a very simple upgrade to implement?

      Add me to the list of folks who would like a little more control over the crossfade... simply being able to control how long the two songs overlap (in seconds) would almost be enough for me, but there are a lot of great ideas above as well:
      1. 'Cross-fade to next track' - When you hit 'next track button'
      2. 'adjust the ramp up rate' ("how long does it take to get to full level"), AND/OR
      2a. more of a fade out on the outgoing track while the incoming has no fade during the 'cross' .
      3. Crossfade as a default setting

      1) cross fade should be an option by default .. so everything is cross fade.

      2) if not cross fade should be located next to shuffle button. I am getting sick of always looking for it.

      I have to set it on for every album I play. That's stupid.

      3) off topic back button on android.. sonos should not exit app. Or a double back should. Annoying.

      4) Cross fade should kick in when you click forward to next track.

      Sonos is becoming too clunky and good looking? I don't care about looks.

      It needs to be more functional. Start playing and put away. It's not a Spotify app.

      I get more joy from using my old sonos controller when guests come.. as I need to start music and carry on. This app makes me look rude as I have to find cross fade shuffle, volume etc.

      Cross fade is a competitive advantage and if they don't learn this, they will soon be left behind...
