Crossfade is a cool feature, especially for small events and DJ’ing a party. However, YouTube Music doesn’t add this feature as Spotify. Is there a way to set the songs to always crossfade?
What is Crossfade?
Crossfade is kind of a transition in sound where the sound of one track starts fading out and the sound of the next song starts fading in. This crossfade thing happens gradually.
YouTube Music does support gapless playback. As long as you have a premium subscription gapless playback should be automatically enabled. Gapless playback means that your next song will start immediately after the current track ends, which results in a continuous listening experience.
Some people ask do we actually need crossfade after that gapless playback is working? Well, crossfade and gapless playback are different. Crossfade refers to overlaps 2 tracks by fading out of the first while fading in the next.
Currently there is no way to get crossfade feature on YouTube Music, but you can play YouTube Music playlists with Spotify as a workaround.
