Crossfade Premium Feature icon

This is a RealPlayer Cloud Premium Feature.

Crossfade allows you to play a sequence of songs that fade into one another rather than pause silently in between. This Premium Feature sets that fade.

To open the Crossfade dialog, select >Tools > Crossfade.

When RealPlayer Cloud plays a series of songs, the Crossfade feature fades one into the next. The volume of each song will start to fade out as it nears its end, and the volume of the next will fade in as it starts. The two can also overlap so that the next will be fading in even as the previous is fading out.

The color bar at the top of the Crossfade window represents the decay, rise, and overlap of the volume changes:

Use the following buttons and sliders to customize the Crossfade function:
