A Better Crossfade

[Alextremotion]

I do not like that a song begins with the increase in volume during the crossfade, it would be good, which would be like this:  

The song that finishes decreases the volume, but the one that begins does it with its normal volume, thus there is no loss of perception of the melody.
Also as an option a box to activate or deactivate this type of crossfade, in case someone does not like it.

I hope this improvement is possible.
Thank you for your attention.

That by definition is not a Crossfade. You are just asking for songs to fade out at the end. Starting the 2nd song at full volume while the first is still playing (this would be a Crossfade) would be super jarring and sound awful

I do not think it sounds horrible, on the contrary the music is heard continuously. watch the following video that I made.

The audio is not very good, since I recorded it with an old phone, but it is clear that the crossing of songs, as if it were something professional, with that configuration that is in the image, since it is possible to increase or decrease the values of time during the crossfade.

This option is in neutron music player, but what I do not like about this apk is that it does not use a database and some interface things, so I prefer Gonemad.

Set crossfade in Gmmp to 3 seconds and it's going to sound exactly like your video. The second track doesn't start at full volume in that video.

It does not sound the same and the second song if it starts at full volume

I also prefer a more aggressive crossfade, with no fade in applied at all. Setting the crossfade time to 2-3 seconds and applying no fade-in to the incoming track reduces silences between songs and rarely creates a jarring overlay. I never want to hear any fade-in on a song that should start with an abrupt attack.

@gonemad there are some players (including Neutron mentioned above) that have separate adjustments for the fade out time of the current track and the fade in time of the upcoming track. Essentially if you set the fade-out time as a longer time like 5s and the fade-in time to a very short time like 250ms (or even 0), then this would accomplish what the OP is asking. Some may think it is jarring, but others may prefer the full level of the next song as it begins. MusicBee and Foobar do this on PC, WMP and iTunes do not.

In the meantime, for anyone looking for a solution this case, then you should just shorten the fade option to an acceptable point. Or turn it off completely if that still doesn't work for you. The previous song will fade out or end abruptly, as recorded. The next track will then start also as recorded. If you have gapless tracks, the time in between each track should be very short. Agreed it will not be a true cross-fade as you may desire. But very few players do it this way on mobile devices.
