Crossfade Sansa clip zip

[arnouds]

In the current build cd5ee6f, sansa clip zip has a problem with the crossfade in playback mode.
Setting duration of fading out and duration of fade in to 3 sec and 5 sec resp., it will fade out correctly, then there is a short silent gap, and then the next clip will start playing with a clicking sound, but there is no fading in at all.
is this a know error?

I haven't heard this reported, but its possible no one has noticed.  Can you try reporducing it in the simulator using the same settings as cause it on the device:

(The clip+ and zip simulators are identical aside from the screen so the + one should be fine if you don't feel like compiling a Zip one from scratch).

This might be a stupid question: I ran the simulator, but how do I put music into it to run a useful simulation?

Put it in the simdisk folder.

Okay, thankx. I am not able to reproduce  it in the Clip+ simulator, with the settings it described, crossfade works as would be expected in the sim.
But it keeps apperearing in my Clip Zip though, with exactly the same settings:
Shuffle YES, Crossfade YES, Mode CROSSFADE, Fade in duration 5 sec, Fade in delay 0 sec, Fade out duration 3 sec, Fade out delay 0 sec.

If you reset the settings on the Zip and then use the ones from the sim does it still happen?

[arnouds]

No, it has disappeared on the Zip running exactly the same settings as I used on the Clip+ Sim.
But I downloaded the theme-set onto the Zip at the same time.
To make sure this didn't interfere, I ran the same default theme, and I am still not able to reproduce it.
So it looks like it has been solved (but how?).

If you figure out how to reproduce it, file a bug report on the tracker. 

[arnouds]

Ok. I'll do that. Thanks.

Hey guys I just bought this player and I noticed the same arnoud's problem.
I'm using the last build (bb0e4cc-120405) and my settings are:

Crossfeed: always
Fade-in delay: 0s
Fade-in duration: 6s
Fade-out delay: 0s
Fade-out duration: 6s
Fade-out Mode: crossfeed

I noticed that problem only when I manually skip the songs.
There's no problem when I choose the next song from the playlist or when a song ends and another one begins.

Anyway, nice work! I <3 RB!

Yes, I am getting the same problem, along with weird clicking noises when I change the volume level. I'll try to recreate my settings to try and reproduce the problem.
