Crossfader not working in iTunes 12.7.4.76

Using iTunes after the most recent update to version 12.7.4.76 the crossfader built into iTunes is not working.

- iTunes being used on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-Inch, Late 2013)

- Processor: 2.3 Ghz intel core i7

- Memory: 16 GB

- macOS ver. 10.13.4


After updating to the new iTunes version the crossfader is no longer working in iTunes. The crossfader is used to transition from one song to another. This is especially a helpful playback tool for workouts as well as many other life objectives.

Contacted Apple Support and was instructed to restart computer. Did that still not working. Was directed to turn off crossfader, exit iTunes. Restart computer and then go in and turn on crossfader and test. Still didn't work. Next steps included going to iTunes.com and installing a fresh copy of iTunes to the computer overwriting the app already on the machine. Still no crossfader options. No matter what we do to the crossfader. Turn off, turn back on, select a different seconds to crossfade, it no longer works. It was working prior to the update. Apple Support Senior Advisor explained that the feature may have been removed however the feature is still in iTunes under Preferences, Playback. Have a look. It's there and it should work. Any help is appreciated on getting this fixed. Support has been fantastic, no doubt about that. Would love to see this resolved easily.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

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.

I took your advice, this time, and left feedback. (I was the one you replied to, recently, about this version still having CD burning issues.) But I was REALLY ANGRY when I then noticed Crossfade no longer works, either!!! Crossfade and the equalizer are what makes playing my library in iTunes an "upgrade" (better sound quality) than playing it from my iPad, iPod or iPhone (all can play over my whole-house Bose speaker system via the Apple Remote app - so I can hear the difference). This is nuts!! And exactly what I meant about Apple iTunes engineers creating another problem (with something that worked "just fine" before) each time they fix iTunes. AARRRGHHH!!!

I have tried everything that people have posted to fix the crossfade problem. This is the ONLY one that worked for me. I have an iMac so not sure if this works for PC's or not. Basically, it's just downloading another version of iTunes right over your existing version. Very easy to do and all music was still in place.


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)
