One simple feature I've always loved about rockbox is that you can adjust both the duration and the delay of the fade out and the fade in.
Just for example, the way I've used this is to have songs fade out for 2 seconds, and have the second track come in with no fade, but after a one second delay. I think this works well for skipping tracks.

I'm just realizing I wasn't very clear in my first post. The ability to adjust fade in/out and delay time is a feature of rockbox that I like and would like to see implemented into XBMC. Currently XBMC only lets you adjust the total duration of the crossfade, so fade in and out are always equal.

It's a crossfade, ofcourse they're equal.
To be quite honest, I don't see the use for anything other than what we have. I'm not sure why you want music to fade out but then for the next song to begin abruptly (after a delay no less?)
Cheers,

The way I use it, the next song comes in at full volume while the first song is halfway faded out. The reason I like this is that it allows a subtler ending to a song than being cut suddenly. The reason for no fade in is that songs never begin abruptly; they begin how they're meant to begin, so fading in only takes away a portion of a song for no gain.
Am I making sense?
In any case, it's not a huge deal for me, just something I thought might be a fairly simple improvement.
