you are overthinkin the fading stuff.
songs only have the ability to fade out right now and only fade out when
transitioning to a new song.
whatever functionality you need i can put in (ie being able to fade songs in
etc) but we just have to decide on which way to proceed (:
if you want to be able to fade a song in and loop it and that will satisfy
all your needs i can make that possible, but if you want something else we
can talk about that too (:
