Python/Crossfade
To use the iTunes Crossfade in kJams 2.0:
- Run iTunes
- make a playlist with your "filler music"
- select that playlist
- set the iTunes volume to where you want it to be max (usually at about 75% if you want head room, or 100% if you use a mixer)
- Run kJams
- for One-Shot crossfading:
- When you want to fade between iTunes and kJams, just press cmd/ctrl-' (that's "single quote"). That key shortcut is set in the "startup.py" script and can be changed to something else if you like, by editing that script.
- for Auto-Crossfade:
- Pick: Advanced->Python->itunes_auto_crossfade.py
- this launches the auto-crossfade script.
- when ever you STOP a song in kJams (not pause), it will fade out, and fade the iTunes playlist in.
- when ever you Play a song in kJams, iTunes will fade out
