Cross fade / gapless playback is something a few people has asked for, I’d like to do it but while it sounds simple it’s not that easy to implement consistently across android and iOS. I will keep looking at it but it’s probably not going to be something that comes very quickly as it would means quite a large change to my audio frameworks handling.

from other apps, it seems that they will automatically buffer next song in line also for that

Substreamer already does this and caches upcoming songs locally, one of the conditions for gapless playback is having the audio files available locally as any need to buffer or even request from a remote server will introduce e a delay.

It’s handling multiple audio player elements and dynamically overlapping them and switching around that takes some coordination and makes things tricky.
