Crossfade to your heart's content!
I love Spotify Premium. I play my class music in every class using my iPhone and a Bluetooth receiver.
But there's something wrong with everything and what I feel is wrong with Spotify is:
- It isn't available everywhere on the planet
- Playlists don't show an accurate total length, over one hour.
No crossfade option using your portable device - iPhone or Droid for gapless playback.
I just discovered that there is now a crossfade option on my iPhone 🙂
Open Spotify > Options and use the slider to set the crossfade. I've played around and found 6 secs seems to work well.
Now if we can get those other two problems fixed...

John,
Do you upload your iTunes playlists to spotify? That seems redundant which begs the question why? Or do you create playlists in spotify? That seems to make more sense. If so, have you stopped using iTunes in favor of spotify? The other question is what impact on total memory (iPhone/iPad) does spotify have? I’m sure you’ve told us but does spotify work on 3G/4G networks or must WiFi be available?
I use spotify in small doses but, alas, have failed to see the value that you have. I understand that one need not spend $1.29 a song on spotify. Certainly there is value there. But at this point our iTunes libraries are so large we can create playlists from here to infinity.
So please help me out here John, because spotify has been one of those “why am I not getting it’ apps.
Additionally, your ‘bluetooth receiver’ technology reminds me that I’ve not gone there as well. (I still carry 50′ cables just in case.) Perhaps you can review or reprint the post on the bluetooth receiver.
I guess that is enough of what Chuck Cali does not understand for now. I look forward to your response.
Thanks.
Chuck I’ll answer this in a post so I can include some graphics.
