+This plugin can be used to remove the gaps between two songs, or to
+smoothly crossfade inbetween.
+
+Features:
+
+ * Crossfading
+ Crossfade between two songs, i.e. fade out the end of the current song
+ while fading in the beginning of the next for a smooth transition. Length
+ and volume of the fadings can be adjusted separately for fading in and
+ out.
+
+ * Fadein/Fadeout
+ Smoothly fadein/fadeout at the beginning or end of playback.
+
+ * Continuous output
+ Keeps the audio device opened when switching from one song to the next.
+ When used with the Gap-Killer, this allows for seamless playback of whole
+ albums without any audible interruption between the tracks.
+
+ * Gap-Killer
+ Removes the short gaps of silence at the beginning and/or end of mp3
+ files. These gaps are caused by some mp3-encoders.
+
+ * Automatic detection of live albums
+ Automatically detects live albums and pre-mixed tracks which already are
+ crossfaded. For those tracks, crossfading can be disabled automatically.
+
+ * High quality
+ Audacious-crossfade can take special care to avoid the clicks some
+ soundcards produce when suddenly being stopped. Also, it can improve
+ quality when seeking within a song.
+
+ * Secondary effect plugin:
+ Audacious-crossfade allows you to select a second effect plugin. This is
+ usefull for example when using the volume normalizing plugin together
+ with the icecast plugin.
