on newest MacOS Catalina - crossfade is NOT working, which is very annoying...
preferences -> playback -> crossfade songs box checked -> set to 12sec = nothing
preferences -> playback -> crossfade songs box checked -> set to 5sec = nothing
preferences -> playback -> crossfade songs box unchecked -> same as above/ no crossfade
Any suggestions??
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
There is a potential difference when AirPlay is selected within iTunes or Music, and when selected from the Mac's volume control. The later can allow crossfade, I don't think the former normally does but Apple can always change this. Sequential tracks from the same album will be played as is which allows for any gapless transition to play as intended.

Hey Man, guessing from your picture you are indeed a man, if not, sorry M'am :)
Many thanks for your swift reply!
for one:
it's really weird that crossfade is not expected to work when playing tracks from the same album or when playing/sending through airplay. I certainly expect MY crossfade to work as I set it :) it's weird that a program should decide what my options are, considering there is an option to set crossfade the way I want and not the way the program wants. but that is a philosophical question about free will and so on :)
secondly:
I do indeed play songs through airplay, sending it through my old airport express to my stereo system. I have created my own playlists, and I'm guessing a playlist would resemble an entire album, so I get it now... if it were not for...
thirdly:
the crossfade started working maybe an hour ago :) I have no idea why but I'm happy it does, even when playing through airplay... at first I thought it might be that I started using the mini player window this morning, but I just checked and it works in the normal window too now... still playing one of my playlists, still sending to airplay... I swear to god, the old ones and the new, it was not working this morning...
..
sometimes computers do have a tendency to do or not do things they are supposed to do or not :)

wonderful, thanks a lot lot
now that you mention it, as airplay sometimes kicks out, I did klick on airplay on Mac's volume control in the top right corner...
and thanks for mentioning the second part, I understand the 'gapless transition as intended on an album' argument!
still, when I say crossfade, it better do as it is told :)
Crossfade is not expected to work when playing tracks in sequence from the same album.
Crossfade is not expected to work when using AirPlay.
Either of those cover it?
