Winamp

Being a fan of dance music, most of the music i own is all pre-mixed so it's continuous play throughout. When im listening to this on winamp (latest version), i want the 2 tracks to mix into each other without it noticeable changing, but atm it has an annoying delay. I've tried putting the crossfader on and setting the delay to 0, but this still doesn't fix it. Is it just winamp that's unable to do this? or is there an option i'm missing somewhere? If winamp isn't capable of this, could anyone recommend me a good music/video player. Thanks for any replies.

Try setting the crossfade time to just a second or two - not quite perfect I know, but it's the best I've found.

Preferences > Output > Directsound Output > Configure > Fading > Default Fade length = 400 ms

Does the job for me.

Also if you haven't ripped your MP3s properly this can cause problems. Ripping/encoding with LAME will produce gapless playback unless this is not what you're after?

foobar does this out the box with no tinkering. if you can hear the changeover/gap with foobar then the files haven't been ripped properly - best off using eac and lame as mentioned above....
