how about having the option of cross fading between songs? wmp9 supports it, i think it would be a nice feature to have when cruising

That's very nice!

Another thing I would ask/suggest is playback of long mp3 files with information stored in .cue file. I came across few files that were each 65-90 mins long, and if you enable the random play function, it's not very efficient. But the catch is that .cue file has the information of the big file (name of each song, start/finish times, etc.) I would be very nice if we could play those as well. I'm pretty sure you know what kind of files I'm talking about and how to work, but in case someone else was wondering wth I mean

I once suggested that to Frodo, but he said it was too much work or something. Anyway, if it's possible it would be a very helpfull feature.

Maybe someday for me, PM me a cue file(just so I can look, don't send the MP3) and I'll look it up and if I work out anything I'll contribute it to ME as well.

Frodo, you got PM

Let us know what you think and how easy/hard it is to do that. Just curious
