There's actually a feature built in to mimic cross-fading; it must have not worked for you, and that worries me a little. What browser and OS are you using please?
It's not possible to do true seamless looping with HTML5 audio, but the site tries to achieve it by crossfading, as you say, using two tracks for each sample. On my setup the transition is imperceptible. I'd like to work out why it didn't work for you.
- aaronem 13y agoThanks for taking an interest! The browser which showed the problem was Firefox 24.2.0esr on Windows 7; I haven't yet tried the site in any other browsers, but I'm about to fire up my Mac and I'll give it a shot in Safari when I do. One other note: At the time I noticed the problem, I was having some slight latency issues, such that the TCP handshake could take up to 3-5 seconds to complete; I haven't tried it since that cleared up, and it seems possible that could've been the cause.
- aaronem 13y agoTest results: Safari 6.1, Mac OS X - Listened to "Thunder" track for 10 minutes; no noticeable break. Firefox 24.0, Mac OS X - Did likewise; result likewise. I'll have to try it again from home tonight and see whether it behaves better in the absence of the latency problem. Sorry for being so vague; I tend to try to characterize bug reports better than I have this one, but I was in the middle of too many things when I wrote my original comment and didn't take the time I should've.
- gabemart 13y agoThanks for following up. The system is quite sensitive to connection issues as the cross-fading only lasts 5 seconds or so. Glad it seems to be working now.
- aaronem 13y agoThanks to last night's unpredictable behavior on the part of my ISP (thanks, Comcast!), I can confirm that the gaps I was hearing are latency-bound. Thanks again for a nifty service!
