Fading songs in and out

Your music can "fade" smoothly between songs, without gaps of silence (called "crossfade playback"). You can adjust the amount of time it takes for songs to fade in and out.

To fade the audio between songs:

  1. Choose iTunes > Preferences, and then click the Playback button at the top of the window.
  2. To hear songs fade in and out, select Crossfade Playback.
  3. To decrease or increase the amount of time it takes for the current song to fade out at the end and the new song to fade in, drag the "seconds" slider left or right.
  4. If you deselect Crossfade Playback, songs play without fading between songs.
