Crossfade and Gapless Playback

Ambie's main goal is to deliver a seamless playback experience with no interruption.

There are two options a customer can select to achieve this: 

Gapless Playback:

With Ambie's Gapless Playback functionality, there is a zero gap between the finish of one song and the start of the next one. The next song is always queued on the player to ensure it begins playing immediately. 

Crossfade:

Customers can select our Crossfade functionality to be applied to any of their players. This will fade down the current song at the same time as fading up the next song. The two songs will play concurrently for up to 10 seconds as they fade in or out. The duration of the fade can be adjusted by the technical team. Crossfade is available on an individual player basis, and cannot be changed per playlist. 

Important:

At present Gapless Playback is the default option selected on all players with a software version of v.29.2.0 or later. If a customers wants to activate 'Crossfade' their player must be on v29.2.0 or later, and as of Dec21, the Crossfade must be manually activated by a member of the technical team.
