Turning off the equalizer doesn't really help so it's not necessary to use driver software.

Have you tried to apply lower bass in Audio Drivers?

No, I was just following your instructions but couldn't find out how to disable the bass; I still get the transition problem. I'm not sure whether this is fixable given the tools here. I can play around with the buffers in the waveout plugin but it never results in a good transition. (I said it was fixed before because it looked that way but I think the prev track was still in the buffer.)

And you can also google for Winamp DSP plugins since they are compatible with MM.
I'll have to research this and try a few out.

You could at least try to disable the equalizer and see if the problem persists. If the equalizer is really the problem, you'll probably have better luck using a DSP plugin to reduce the bass rather than using the equalizer.
I've disabled equalizer and enabled Media Monkey Direct Sound Output (there seem to be no others). How do I reduce the bass?

As I'm using the default values with the default output plugin I can't help you on this one.

But I'm glad that you're getting there ;)
It's funny that this should be so much of a problem in this day and age. I assume it's the compression of the tracks? CD audio was always fine on a CD player in the old days.

Some users have reported having better results with using Waveout output instead of Mediamonkey directsound output and maximizing the buffers.
Could be something to try out.
Nice one. The transitions are almost perfect. There are three buffer settings here (buffer length, prebuffer, buffer-ahead of track change). Do I crank all of them up to the max? (P.s. I noticed that doing this changes how the player displays the time, I assume this is unavoidable.)

Did that. There is a tramsition still.

How do I figure this out? I went into sound settings but there was nothing like this.

Also try renaming the scripts folder to scriptstoff.

For the output plugin is it MMDS, wave, something else?
