Description: This is just a brainstorm; this is my first post here so sorry if I screw it up.
I would really like it if amarok could fade in and out when you play or pause the music. I wrote a shell script to do this; I don't know enough about amarok code to make the change, but I wrote a shell script which gets the point across.
I like the idea of fade in fade out with a crossover capability. I've wanted something like this for a long time.
To be able to control crossover rates would be great too.
I'm not sure, but I think this has already been implemented: crossfade. Is that what you're thinking of?
Also, to the people above: I would expect it to be configurable-- probably off on default. But if you listen, there is a rather annoying 'pop' when you press play/pause.
when people press the pause button on Amarok it is usually because someone is coming in the room to talk to them or they are watching a trailer or something, I don't know about you but I would want it to stop immediately without and fade-outs
Isn't there already an option for this? there IS a fade-in/out config page. And if pause/play fadein/out isn't possible, maybe an amarok script could do it.
Though I hate it ;-)
only the fade-out on closing amarok is kind'a cool.

I think it is not a bad idea. Winamp does this. We could have a very short fade, less one a second, it would be smoother for my ears ^^
