           Summary: Button for turning on/off crossfading
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.2.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist lists sourceforge net
        ReportedBy: wilson.william gmail com


Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.4.3 
OS:                Linux

It would be great if amaroK included an option to quickly turn on or off crossfading without going to Settings -> Configure amaroK -> Engine. The reason this would be nice is that for some songs, i.e. those with dramatic endings, crossfading is extremely undesirable. On the other hand, if ones playlist is full of similar sounding music, it can be quite pleasant. A quick way to switch it on or off would be a wonderful usability enhancement.

A good place to put such a button might be in the bottom right hand corner of the playlist (near the Random Mode, Repeat Playlist, Append Suggestions buttons).

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
