Abstract

A request is received to play a first audio file and a second audio file. A system identifies a first effective start position and a fade-out position associated with the first audio file. The system also identifies a second effective start position associated with the second audio file. The first audio file is played from the first effective start position. When the fade-out position associated with the first audio file is reached, playback of the first audio file is faded-out while the second audio file is played from the second effective start position.
