otta007:
All seems a bit wierd, all I want to do is put together a play list for say a Disco, choose which songs in which order and then access it from a menu, is this possible?

Llorean:
Yes. When you click and hold on a song, there's a menu called the "Context Menu" which gives you the option to insert songs (or folders, or other playlists) into one. If you've stopped (not paused) the music, the first Insert will create a new playlist and insert that object in it. Once you've got the playlist full, go to the Playlist menu, and you can choose to save the playlist wherever you want on the disk. From then on, you can access that playlist whenever you want to play those songs.

Another option is the playlist catalog. What that lets you do is when you're listening to a song, you can choose to add that song to the playlist of your choice (it'll show you a list of all playlists in the Playlists folder to pick which you want to insert it into.)

otta007:
Nice one, thank you, I'll give that a go...

Another question (last one honest!)

Is there any reason the crossfade doesn't always work, there seems to be no reason for whether it works or not?

Cheers, you're a star,

Rincewind:
crossfade should (and does for me) work always. However, if some of your songs have silence at the end, it may seem that there is no crossfade happening (because it is fading the silence). Just set a longer fade out length or change the fade in or fade out delay.

There is a good description what the various crossfade options mean in the manual.

bazmonkey:
At least on my X5, the default crossfade settings are all to zero, so even once it's activated, it doesn't actually do anything until you set everything to working values.  Perhaps the default settings should be to something at at least produce some effect when initially activated.  E.g. when one initially activates crossfeeding, the default settings produce an effect.
