Hi,

I've configured Amarok to crossfade between songs. This is ok, when I'm listening to random songs, but it's a little annoying when I'm playing a complete album, especially albums on wich the songs are already mixed.

Therefore my wish is to add a (configurable) option to use gapless mode when playing an album. Album detection should make use of the metadata tags album and tracknumber. If the next track in the playlist is from the same album and has a tracknumber that's one higher then the current tracknumber, play it directly after the current song without a transition. This could even bu used when the playlist has been shuffled.

Kind regards,

David Pavlotzky

I don't think this is a duplicate. I propose to add a Checkbox in the "Edit metadata"-Dialog when you are editing an album, which is called "Gapless Album" or  something like that. That would be very similar to iTunes, but it would be a great feature when listening to albums which are already mixed.

If this box is checked, the behaviour should be the following:

Gapless Album, some track (e.g. track 1) → Gapless Album, follow-up-track (e.g. track 2)
----→ No crossfading, but gapless play

Gapless Album, some track → Gapless Album, but not follow-up-track
----→ Crossfading, because the album is not properly mixed anymore

Gapless Album, Track 1 → Non-Gapless Album, some track
----→ Crossfading

Non-Gapless Album, some track → Non-Gapless Album, some other track
----→ Crossfading

OK, maybe this is indeed a duplicate. I'll repost this in the original bug report^^
