Enhance Your Music Playback With Crossfading

Luckily, Windows Media Player 12 has just the feature to make this a reality (for Windows Media Player 11, read our tutorial on how to crossfade music in WMP 11 instead). The audio enhancement facility in question is called Crossfading and can be easily set up to automatically occur (when you know where to look, that is).

Listen to Your Music Library in a New Way

Once configured, you can listen to your music library in a new way; this audio mixing technique suddenly makes the way your music collection is played sound more professional and makes listening to it more interesting. If you’ve already created your own custom-made playlists, then these will also be processed when crossfading is set up – however, the caveat in using this facility is that you can’t crossfade tracks on audio CDs. If you fancy setting up this great audio effect rather than having to suffer (the sometimes annoying) silent gaps between songs, follow this short crossfading tutorial for Windows Media Player 12. As well as finding out how to turn this feature on (which is deactivated by default), you will also discover how to vary the amount of time that songs overlap each other for that perfect crossfade.
