Crossfader not working in iTunes 12.7.4.76

Right. I downloaded 12.7.4.80, too, from Apple - Support - Downloads and now crossfade works. I would have expected to be notified of the .80 update automatically, but I'll take it. Thanks for your and others help on this.

Download version 12.7.4.80 for Mac.... it's finally been resolved!!

However, it appears Apple has not updated (yet) the version number on the website download page.
The website stated the download was 12.7.4.76 when I downloaded it last night, in order to reinstall iTunes.
When I ran iTunes the Crossfade feature seemed to be barely working (which I think it depends on the recordings your attempting to mix.) It worked on one particular song mix really well,... then others it was barely noticeable

(Maybe it wasn't done caching the entire playlist, I don't know???) So I gave up.

Then the next day ALL THE SONGS were crossfading as designed.

But I didn't realize I was on a different version until I was talking with Apple Support about iTunes backup.

I confidently told them I was on 12.7.4.76....

I went to double check and it displayed 12.7.4.80!

Crossfade is back!... My playlist 'flow' is back and it makes all the difference in the world!!

Thank you Apple

I would upgrade to 12.7.4.80
I experienced the same immediate start between songs for about a day, with cross fade set at about six seconds.
The next day it began functioning as I expected and pulled back on the cross. I don't know if maybe it was a reboot or restart that flushed the preferences cache, but now version 12.7.4.80 (new download) is now crossfading as expected.

(Note: The download was labeled 12.7.4.76, but when I ran it, it displayed 12.7.4.80. At the time it appears they had not corrected their labeling of the download version.)

This seems to be fixed in iTunes 12.7.5.9. Yay!

In Finder you can copy a highlighted file using the menus or by pressing Command+C. When you've gone to the iTunes folder use the menus or Command+V to paste.

However you might want to go to iTunes - Download iTunes Now - Apple and install iTunes 12.7.4.80 which seems to have this crossfading bug fixed if not some of the others in 12.7.4.76. Obviously undo any change you made to the name of the iTunes Library.itl file that you want to use again now instead of replacing.

Hi

I did from 1 to 4 but dont know how to do 5,, or dont get it,, go up one level? can you tell me exactly what you mean by go up one level?

Thanks

The files are in a nested folder hierarchy. The first folder on a drive is known as the root. Subfolders are children of their parent folders, with the root at the top. The iTunes folder contains the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. You need to copy the file from one folder to the other, so you select and copy in one folder, then browse to the other folder, and paste.

As noted iTunes 12.7.4.80 fixes the crossfade issue.

Great news - go to iTunes, and re-download the latest version. They even mention the previous crossfade issue.

Crossfade now works.🙂

Just upgraded to 12.7.4.80. Looks like crossfade is working again! Yay.

Have you updated to 12.7.4.80 yet? Get it from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ if not, software update won't fetch it.

Hi,

So had the same issue, not sure how many others are still, but found this on Reddit today and it worked:

Apple gave me the patch info today and it works.

Go to itunes.apple.com

In the black apple bar at the top right of the page click support

In the "search support" box in the middle of the page, type dl1814 (dl as in download)

Let it down load and follow the prompts.

It fixed the problem on both of our macs

Annie - they have now fixed the problem - simply download the latest iTunes (it has been updated)

have an update 12.7.4.80 found on Techspot its working but 12 second just isn't enough

30 seconds would be perfect but will apple care to do it ??????? and they should for the love of the MUSIC

This has happened before and the only solution was to download an old version of iTunes until Apple get their act together. So annoying as I use iTunes to play music at work and as I’ve cut off long intros and outros each song clunking stops and starts. Sounds awful :(

I experience the exact same thing and after a quick back-and-forth with Apple support I was directed to go to a website where I could download and install the version of iTunes offered at the link below. After rebooting my machine crossfade worked like a charm. Thanks Apple support !

Download iTunes 12.7.4

Software Update won't see it as a new build, and the download page lists it as 12.7.4, but if you download it you'll find it is a new build. Or see iTunes for Mac installers for direct links.
