I seem to get quite a bit more requests for normalizing than crossfading.  I should probably separate 
these two entries here... 

I agree that normalizing and crossfading should be two distinct entries. 
Crossfading should be easy within the server software, I would think?

However I have many questions about normalizing.  I would like my entire MP3 to
be peak-normalized to 98%.  Does anyone know of a third-party utility that could
normalize my collection?  I'm not happy with the shareware utilities I've found...

Thanks,

crossfading is actually a rather difficult thing.  normalising could be done via
replaygain (a popular suggestion) then the serber can support the tag.
crossfading, by contrast, requires starting a second stream internal to the
server and overlapping the currently playing stream.  The server currently only
supports a single stream for a single player

as for splitting the request, the normalization portion is probably covered by
bug 80, so this can probably just concentrate on crossfade.

changed title of bug.  crossfade has also been added for squeezebox2, fyi.

Alas, not possible with SB hardware.  However, SB2 does support crossfading.
