2 Simple Ways to Control Crossfade in Spotify

• Crossfade creates a DJ-like experience by overlapping songs so there's no dead air.
• To adjust the crossfade in the mobile app, go to the settings and drag the crossfade slider.
• If you're using the desktop app, click your profile picture, then go to "Settings > Crossfade".

Using the Mobile App

Open Spotify. Tap the app icon that looks like black soundwaves on a green background. This method works for all Android and iOS devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Tap Android 7 Settings. You'll see this gear icon in the top right corner of your screen and it will open Settings. If you don't see this, tap Home first to ensure you aren't in a playlist.

Drag the slider to adjust the crossfade. If you don't see the slider, tap Playback first. The more seconds you set for crossfade, the longer your songs will overlap. For example, if you set a 6-second crossfade, the last 6 seconds of a song will fade out as the next song starts to fade in.
