iTunes sound fading in and out

I am increasingly having trouble with music fading in or out or being discarded on iTunes. This happens more with some playlists than others. It has happened with music purchased on iTunes and with music ripped from my own CDs. Is this a hard-drive issue?

iMac, OS X 10.11

Hey tmattingly,


It sounds like you may have crossfade enabled for music on your Mac. We'd recommend reviewing this article for steps to check that: Fade between songs in Music on Mac - Apple Support


  1. "In the Music app  on your Mac, choose Music > Settings, then click Playback.
  2. Select Crossfade Songs.
  3. To change the amount of time it takes for the current song to fade out at the end and the new song to fade in, drag the Seconds slider."


Thanks!
