Crossfade Option in Apple Music iOS APP ?

[augustya]

is the Crossfade feature still not available on iOS Apple Music APP ? That is so Primitve of Apple. Spotify offers that. So when I am using an Streaming APP for Party I will definitely use Spotify which offers a Crossfade option ? But is it for sure Apple does not offer Crossfade feature in the Apple Music iOS APP ?

I believe this falls into a gray area for Apple that they don't want to mess with. You can not crossfade at all in the Music app on iOS. 3rd party iOS apps can't crossfade Apple Music (or will be pulled from the apps store). iTunes can crossfade but only Music you own now Apple Music or Music with DRM.

Spotify isn't completely immune (unless its changed from the last time I used it) as the crossfade option (along with other advanced settings) are disabled when the music is locally stored / cached. Spotify has integration into DJ tools however there are rules when using it, 1 being the songs can't be cached.

I can only assume Apple doesn't want to risk whatever liability Spotify is trying to avoid with their rules. I can't find statements from either Spotify or Apple on the subject directly explaining this. Regardless I wouldn't ever expect a cross fade feature for Apple Music.

2019 and still no support for native crossfading within iOS Apple Music...(smh)

Digging out this old thread. Disappointed to hear that apparently even in iOS 13 there's still no cross fade. Every single music app/player I recall using has come with it - including Apple's own iPod nano - so what's this supposedly grey area preventing Apple from putting in such a common feature?

Btw. I'm using VOX which has this option (for offline playback as well) and an overall far nicer gestural interface than Music - but could be better when dealing with playlists imported from iTunes.

Bringing a dead thread alive and still lacking crossfading feature for iOS / iPhone.

Well, at least I'm not missing out on anything considering my iPod can't run latest & greatest.

Still using VOX here btw. Never without crossfade.

Saw this yesterday,

Apple Music for Android adds a crossfade feature — Android Police

Apple Music gained a bunch of fresh new features in iOS 14, and they're enough to make YouTube Music jealous. The changes that landed on Android in beta

Maybe, just maybe ???

I hope it comes to iOS soon as it is confirmed on Android.
