Why do files overlap one another when they play?

Files can sound like they overlap, start before the previous file is finished, when you enable Crossfading. Crossfade blends files together on playback.

To solve:

  1. Disable Play > Crossfade from the Main Menu. This disables all crossfading.
  2. Instead to globally disable crossfading you can disable it per Type, which for example allows you to disable crossfading for Audiobooks while maintaining it for Music. Go to Tools > Options > Playback rules from the Main Menu and for the Type(s) you want to disable enable the option ‘Disable crossfading’.
  3. If you want to fine tune how much of a file MediaMonkey crossfades go to Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins from the Main Menu, select the enabled Output Plug-in and click Configure. Depending on the Output Plug-in you may have an option to set how long MediaMonkey should crossfade.
  4. Silence removal, which happens at the beginning and end of a file, may also cause you to perceive an overlapping. Go to Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins from the Main Menu, select the enabled Output Plug-in and click Configure. Depending on the Output Plug-in you may have an option enable silence removal, disable it here.
