Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for curating playlists of content for provisioning and presenting to users a seamless cross fade experience from one piece of content to the next within the playlist. In embodiments, information that identifies portions of content without audio or video data may be maintained. Further, metadata may be generated that identifies a cross fade points for the content in response to receiving input from a user device of a user. In an embodiment, each cross fade point may identify a time window of the content for interleaving with other content. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the metadata may be transmitted based at least in part on a selection of the metadata for the content.
