Why is My Crossfade on Spotify Unavailable?
The Spotify Crossfade feature cannot be used if you have enabled Spotify Connect to stream music to other devices. Therefore, make sure your Spotify Connect option is first toggled off before using Spotify crossfade. Additionally, you may be using Spotify from the browser version and not the app version on desktop and mobile.
What is the Best Crossfade time for Spotify?
The ideal crossfade time depends on which setting you are using this feature. A crossfade time of 5 to 6 seconds is ideal when listening to music on a mobile device. While 12 seconds may seem excessive for most playlists, this duration can be helpful during DJ parties because many tracks only start a few seconds in, and the longer crossfade period helps the crowd get excited for the following song.
