Minor feature - cross-fade between songs about stretto HOT 8 CLOSED

I have had a few thoughts about this, the main idea is that you would add a second audio tag for the next track, then switch the ids around and refresh the player reference to the current track. In my mind the hardest part of this was dealing with interruptions / events that happen in the middle of the cross-fade.

I'd love to see a PR for this, good luck with it! feel free to ask me any technicalities on how behaviour should work if you are uncertain.

Dealing with jquery and javascript, tests are ok : I can fade out the current_track and start fade in the fade_track some seconds before the end of the first one.

Now, I need to manage with the audio elements. I will see how and where the player interract with the current_track audio element.

You probably just need to switch the id's around, at least I think.

from stretto.

Yes, of course! I didn't know it was possible (or a good practice). It will be easy this way!

How are you going on this? any commits in yet? :)

from stretto.

I keep all the things in mind but I'ven't so much time for now.

I think I need a function to get the next track to do the fade transition
before skipping to next one..
So I need to rewrite 'nextTrack' function. I stopped on that last time.

from stretto.

Yeah sounds about right regarding rewriting the nextTrack function. Let me know how you go with it.

Closing as this is an enhancement and has been added to trello.
Trying to keep github issues to just bugs and in-progress development.
