Although it is an effect that’s been available for years in audio players, crossfading has made its way into Spotify music streaming service. Among other features, version 0.8.2.527 of Spotify brings to the table crossfade support, turned on by default.

Also new in this release is the gapless playback, which enables the tracks to succeed each other without any silence in between. Along with these, Spotify now allows for faster browsing for the desired artist and sports a “save and restore” feature for “Now Playing.” On the same note, “Offline Mode” is available via the Spotify menu.

As far as fixes are concerned, drag and drop function should work fine on Windows. The developer improved the Subscribe, Buddy List and Favorites options.
