Create smooth transitions between songs with crossfading

With Windows Media Player, you can create gradual transitions between songs in your playlists by turning on crossfading. When you do so, the volume at the end of one song fades out and gradually goes down while the volume of the next song fades in and gradually goes up. Crossfading is available only when you play Windows Media Audio (WMA) or MP3 files that are either in your library or on a data or HighMAT CD. Crossfading is not available with audio CDs.

Click the arrow below the Now Playing tab, point to Enhancements, and then click Crossfading and Auto Volume Leveling.

Click the Turn on Crossfading link, if visible.

3.

Move the slider to select the amount of time that you want the items to overlap.

4.

To hide the settings, click the Close button Picture of the Close button in the Enhancements pane.
